The part that was interesting to me was that it said it could get the
restore points to roll back to with out booting the XP install. I have run
into this trying to get back to a point that was working but not able to
because the system would not go to the desktop.

The review I read here:

D=11&Prod=38117

Suggests it does something more, though what isn't clear.  Another time it'd
be nice to have a fully functioning demo that I could hold on to until I get
a badly damaged machine, and then clone the drive, and see which would do a
better job.

Thanks for that tip.  I hadn't heard of BCP.
