Fix restore points that disappear in Windows dual system

Recently, I have encountered such a problem: I have created a restore point, but when I use it to restore the system, I was told that a restore point has not been created. And check the partition free space to create the restore point is large enough, not the creation failed, which is why? Later, I finally found out the reason ——

Originally, the restore points of Win XP and Win 7 are stored in the System Volume Information folder (hidden attribute) of the partition root directory, as long as the restore point is created under one system, the same in the other system. The restore point of the partition will be destroyed, which will cause the situation I encountered in front. How to fix it? The following is an example of the most common menu-based multi-system.

Protecting the Restore Points in the System Partition

Take Win XP and Win7 respectively on the C and D partitions. By default, Win XP will create restore points for each partition. And Win 7 will only create restore points for the system partition. Knowing this principle, the method of protecting the system partition restore points under the two systems comes out —— as long as the system partition where Win 7 is located is disabled in Win XP, that is, the restore of the D partition.

Right-click on "My Computer" and select "Properties & Rarr; System Restore", then select the D drive under "Available Drives" and click “Set” Check "Turn off system restore on this drive".

Protecting restore points in non-system partitions

Some friends like to install application software on non-system partitions. In this case, you need to create restore points for software partitions. How to avoid creating restore points? What about the conflict? Simple, just hide the software partition of another system in one system, so there will be no problem when creating restore points.

Here, the application partitions of Win XP and Win 7 are respectively E and F disks. Under Win 7, right-click on the "Computer" under the Start menu and select "Manage → Disk Management". Then right click on the E drive, select “change the drive letter and path” and click “delete”, so in Win 7 “ delete & rdquo; Win XP software disk.

Don't worry, this operation can only delete the drive letter assigned to the partition by the system, not delete the partition itself, and it is only valid for the current system. Therefore, after booting to Win XP, this partition can still be displayed normally. There is no such thing as &#############################################################################

Creating a system restore point can restore the system to the most recent normal state in the event of a system failure or a special case crash, and can also minimize the user's loss, so the user should develop regular maintenance. Good habits. We have already said about this point, Master Dong will not say more.

There are many users who install Win 7 now, and many users have chosen to install Win XP+Win 7 dual system. However, in a dual system, creating a system restore point may conflict. If the data is lost or the system cannot be recovered because of this, then it is worth the loss. So you can set the system by the method in the text to avoid unnecessary trouble.
