Default XP deletes Vista system restore points ??

I have a dual boot system with XP installed on C drive and Vista beta 2
installed on D drive. I have XP system restore active for drive C and Vista
beta 2 system restore active on drive D. When using Vista , system restore
points are functional and I have done a successful system restore. The
problem is after I boot my XP system the next time I boot Vista, the Vista
restore points are gone ?? Multiple boots of just Vista retains the Vista
system restore points just fine. Its only after I boot XP, on the next Vista
boot the Vista restore points disappear . Anyone else have this problem ?

This is known and expected.

As an aside, I only let System Restore monitor the system drive of its own
OS and not the volume of the other OS in multiboot scenarios.

That is exactly what I am doing Colin .. XP restore monitors only the C drive
and Vista monitors only the D drive. Should I still expect XP to wipe out
Vista's restore points ? Is there any circumvention to this issue ?

You need to disable system restore for the D drive in Windows XP and
also disable it for the C drive in Vista.

No, in a multiboot system you will lose the Vista restore points when you
boot the other OS.

And why would that happen??? If I boot XP 32 and then XP 64 the restore
points for them are fine. Why would Vista lose them?

It is a known problem. System Restore has been redesigned for Vista and its
restore points are not detected as valid by XP and are therefore deleted.

System Restore in XP does not recognize the Vista SR points as valid and
deletes them. System Restore in Vista has been redesigned.
