Help: Dual Boot Vista/XP with Rescue and Recovery?
Posted: Wed Jan 21, 2009 5:58 pm
So I re-installed my Thinkpad and want to dual boot Windows XP and Vista Ultimate on separate partitions. I'm using the Windows XP pre-load and a separately licensed Vista Ultimate.
I first installed XP preload and did a backup with RnR. Then I'm installing Vista Ultimate by shrinking the XP partition and creating a new partition for Vista. I plan to use RnR in XP to do another backup from the base and hoping it will backup Vista as well. Will RnR backup both the Vista and XP partition correctly so that when I recovery in the future, it will restore both?
I don't want to blow it and have to redo the whole thing. Help would be much appreciated!
edit: This didn't work, as RnR only allows you to backup as many as partitions as your base image had....
