I tried to boot back into vista today...
and I got a blue screen, something about 0x0000 007B
I think?
I think this is related to my effort to add a bootloader (osloader 2000 that
claims vista compatibility)
so XP wont delete the vista restore points....
I removed the bootloader...
I also tried to restore the vista bootloader with vistabootpro 3.1, it did
restore it (it never said it was not working anyway)
with no luck... since after the bootloader the BSOD is there
Vista is starting to get on my nerves.. it should have
been compatible so that XP wouldnt delete the restore points in the first
place...
What vista imbecile left this compatibility issue unresolved?
If someone gives me an option I will try one last time to fix the BSOD. How
do I do a repair on vista?
If not I will format the vista parition one last time and do a repair on the
xp bootloader.. and thats it.

You assume Vista was at fault. Maybe it was the bootloader that corrupted
your install.
To repair your Vista, boot with the Vista DVD until you get to the install
screen. Follow the prompts until you get to repair install option and you
can repair the boot in there.
Vista not keeping restore points on a dual boot system with XP is due to the
shadow copy feature in Vista. I agree it is a pain in the neck. It can be
got around (assuming you have Vista Enterpirse or Ultimate) by using
bitlocker encryption. At least this works. An alternative was to hide the
vista partition from XP, but while some have had success, I, unfortunately,
haven't.
The general fix for this problem is a large amount of recoding of the XP
shadow copy feature something, i am told, Microsoft will not do. So those of
us that dual boot must simply live with the problem or, as i am leaning to,
install XP on a Virtual Machine such as VMware workstation or VPC 2007.

I did not say that it was vistas fault for the BSOD,
but that it doesn't have XP compatibility in the first place
so you wouldn't need a bootloader!
You should be able to dual boot all MS OS without problems..
what is this? XP deleting Vistas restore points? Unacceptable!
This is a blundering mistake from Microsoft...

the other option was to use a usb stick which this pc has trouble with when
booting
with that pluged in...
How can I do a repair installation of all of vista.. similar to that of XP?
(not only the bootloader)
I do not forgive microsoft for such mistakes.. they had 5 years to make
everything work..

You are not prepared to restore a Vista image you have backed up?
That's what I did when Vista objected to my rearranging its boot.
Since you prefer OE to WinMail (as do I), you should either stick
with XP, or get an imaging program - BootItNG is a good value. news://terabyteunlimited.com/public.apps.bootitng

I had not installed many programs yet to vista so it would warrant a backup
image
and writing to DVD...
I don't understand what you are saying about winmail or OE. I am using OE
because
I am on XP because I cant boot into firkin vista

I agree that it is unacceptible. That's why I don't dual boot with XP
except on one test box. The next window of opportunity for getting the
volsnap.sys incompatibility addressed would be XP SP3 beta (later this year)
so be sure to sign up for the beta if you have the chance. I plan on making
some noise there if I get in.

Michail:
In an earlier post you requested information on setting up BitLocker
without TPM. The instructions in the step-by-step guide available at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/w.../aa905089.aspx work. You will
need a USB stick drive. In scenario 1; step 10 set the size to 1700 instead
of 1500, 1.5GB is needed for proper function. In scenario 1; step 13 adding
size=(desired partition size) will create a partition size that you want
instead of the rest of the hard drive. After installing the operating system
in scenario 1; step 21 follow the directions in scenario 3 to enable
BitLocker without TPM. There is a tool supposed to be coming to setup
BitLocker but the guide will work if followed completely until the tool is
available.

Go back to Bitlocker and you'll see something like,
enable or use Bitlocker without TPM.
If you want to use BitLocker just to protect your Vista
partition and don't want to worry with a key on USB drives or
an extraordinarily long code to authenticate- after BitLocker
encrypts Vista, you can back into BitLocker and "turn it off".
It will ask you if you want to decrypt or turn it off. Turn it
off turns off authentication at startup, but it doesn't decrypt
the partition.
