The disappearance of the restore point is how to fix the dual system?

There are many users who install Win7 now, and many users also choose to install WinXP+Win7 dual system. 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, what is going on? How to solve it?

It turns out that this is the case. Recently, I encountered such a problem: I obviously created a restore point, but when I used it to restore the system, I was told that a restore point had not been created. And check the partition free space to create the restore point is large enough, not the creation failed, which is why? Finally found the reason — & mdash; disaster multi-system!

WinXP and Win7 restore Points are stored in the SystemVolumeInformation folder (hidden attribute) in the root directory of the partition. As long as the restore point is created under one system, the restore points of the same partition in the other system will be destroyed, which causes the previous author to encounter The situation. How to fix it? Let's take the most common menu-based multi-system as an example.

Protecting the restore points in the system partition

To install WinXP and Win7 in C and D partitions respectively, by default, the WinXP system will create restore points for each partition. Win7 only creates restore points for system partitions. Knowing this principle, the method of protecting the system partition restore point under the two systems comes out —— as long as the system partition of Win7 is disabled in WinXP, that is, the restore of 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? Conflicts? 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 software partitions of WinXP and Win7 are respectively E and F disks. Under Win7, right-click on the "Computer" under the Start menu and select "Manage → Disk Management". Then right click on the E drive, select “change drive letter and path” and click “delete”, then in Win7 <;delete” WinXP 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 WinXP, this partition can still be displayed normally. There is no such thing as &#############################################################################

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.
