why would you need system restore on that drive at all? (ref: Windows XP system restore) I don't. That why I said "The default always gets me". The default is all drives have restore points. Muggins here forgets to check all these things out, usually because I don't know they even exist -g- At the default setting thats over 2 gigs per drive max. I have two partitions and an extra drive. That meant I got 6 gigs of extra memory to back up ontop of all my system and other files real quickly. Thats why I had to disable the whole lot to purge all that crapola before backing up my real files. I only have about 7 gigs of real data I need to back up, and thats using two operating systems. The other 6 gigs made making removable media backups (CDROMS) a real bind. Unless you are a professional computer whizz, working on computer problems all the time, it's too easy to get tripped up with these things. AOK now though.
