Restoring multiboot system

Thread needs solution

I have a dual booting system with XP and Win 7 64 in diferent partitions at the same disk.-
I made a system backup of both with Acronis True Image Home 2010.-
If I format both partitions and restore them with Acronis, should the dual boot configuration be maintained ?
If not, what do i I have to do ?
Thanks

You need to make sure you have the disk level check box checked when you choose what to backup. This will make sure you have the MBR included in your backup.

I made full backup of my Win 7 C system partition, should that be enough, or I should also include my Win XP D partition which is in the same disk, so I can restore both ?
Thanks

You need to backup all your partitions, including hidden ones (eg System reserved partition), recovery partition or other. Check your disk management console in Windows to make sure you know all the partitions that are on your disk(s).
