Smile RollBack Rx Dual boot installation? Windows 7 and Windows XP Multi-boot systems

I'm currently having an XP operating system and I will install Windows 7 for Dual-boot.
(Windows 7 as primary i guess?)

My question is How should i install RB RX.
Anyone can suggest some instructions and procedures?
This may be similar to XP/Vista dual boot installation, right?




and a side question: Does the snapshots and baselines applies for all partitions I chose to protect? or can we do different snapshots and baseline for different partitions?

EXAMPLE
I have C, D, and E partitions:

C for windows XP
D is unprotected(for documents)
E for windows 7

Am I able to say rollback C to a certain snapshot without changing the status of my E, or all protected drives rolls back to that time

Can i take a snapshot for one drive only, but not for all protected drives.

RollBack Rx does support dual boot. However, you need to install the GUI component onto both OS partitions and only the subconsole on your first OS setup. You may want to follow the following KG article instructions on multi-boot installation:
Does RollBack Rx support Multi-boot systems?

Keep in mind that you will need to select CUSTOM installation during your setup.

With regards to selecting partitions in a dual boot configuration - this is not possible. RollBack Rx will need to protect the entire contents of the root drive in this type of config.

It really does not matter. You basically need to install the GUI and the Subconsole on the first installation and just the GUI on the second OS. Which OS comes first doesn't really matter.
