The reason for hiding the Vista partition from XP is due to a volsnap.sys conflict. The VSS files created by Vista are erased when booting XP since they are deemed corrupt. Currently BitLocker (only available with Enterprise or Ultimate) or using a third party boot manager are the only solutions for saving Vista restore points and shadow copies in a dual boot with XP.

Can it hide partitions? Can it hide Vista from XP?
At the moment, no.
But the NeoSmart Technologies team is researching for a solution, and we're talking to various parties in and out of Microsoft looking for the cleanest way of doing so.

Out of curiosity: why would you need to hide the Vista partition from XP?
Would you need to do so before or after Vista is installed? What purpose would it serve?

In other words, is hiding Vista the point, or is it a symptom of something else the EasyBCD team can try to address?
