    Redirect System Volume Information

    linney Thanks for the reply. I am actually dual-booting Windows 7 RC and XP SP3 so partition imaging would be a little cumbersome. I'll probably just schedule a daily system state backup with ERUNT and turn off System Restore in Windows 7.

    Redirect System Volume Information

    Is it possible to redirect the folder System Volume Information, perhaps with a custom Group Policy Object or a System variable? This would seem to be a solution to the issue Vista has with System Restore in a dual-boot. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/926185 No restore points are available...

    No Boot!

    It could be a heat problem. Check if the cpu fan is running. Check your cpu temp in the Bios. Also check your throttle down temp in the Bios. I've run into machines where that was set to low and the computer constantly rebooted.

    Need shutdown msg from WinXP on AT style machine

    I had the same problem. It turned out that the Hardware Abstration Layer (HAL) was incorrect. Look in Device Manager, expand the Computer branch. If your computer is identified as Standard PC this could be the problem. If your computer is ACPI compliant you can force the HAL during Windows...
