XP deletes Vista's Restore Points when they are dual booted.
There is a workaround; someone will post it for you.

If they don't, put up another thread headed: "Dual-booting; lost Vista
restore points??"

As Mr. Murphy has told you, this is a known issue when dual-booting XP
and Vista. It can't be fixed, only worked around. The usual way is to
use a third-party boot manager that can hide the operating systems from
each other. See MVP Bert Kinney's pages:
