What does this mean:

"If you boot a Windows Vista computer into a different operating system
(including Windows XP) while a disk containing backups is connected, the
backups will be lost. To avoid this, ensure that no backup disks are
connected before you boot into a different operating system."

This can be found on the backup section of the release notes. I want to
install Vista but I am afraid it will erase my other drives. Thanks.
