[TUTORIAL: Windows 7 and Windows 10 together with Linux - Quick restore and optimize]

I can understand the advantages of adding the "Unmount.reg" to the registry to allow the easy copying. Adding "Unmount.reg" is a permanent change; what are the disadvantages to making this permanent chagnge?

After I set up my computer this way, Acronis True Image can't find the hard drives/partitions in my computer when I try to run it.

Are we supposed to change the registry back to its state before adding "Unmount.reg" after each copy of the system?

Thanks!

I followed all of your directions and everything has worked until step 4.2.

When I doubleclick on my "unmount.reg" text file, I get a Registry Editor error popup message that says:

Cannot import C:\Users\Rich\Desktop\Unmount.reg:The specified file is not a registry script. You can only import binary registry file from within the registry editor.

Here is my unmount.reg script:

{-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices}

{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\MountedDevices}

{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control}

"SystemBootDevice"=""

{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet001\Control}

"SystemBootDevice"=""

{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet002\Control}

"SystemBootDevice"=""

Does anyone have any ideas/corrections to solve this problem?

Thanks for your help and patience. Rich

A lot of the XP hot fixes require the latest versions of MSN Messenger & Media Player to be installed before the fixes. How does one accomplish this? I can't find any where that this is addressed in the forums. Thanks.
