Possibly because it's the 32-bit version of XP Pro? The complete PC restore
has to be done using the Vista DVD, which is either a 32-bit or 64-bit
version. Having both types of system in the backup will confuse the Restore
process.

It doesn't even confuse it, just tells the user plain and straight, it
cannot work.
