Hi Greg,
How much disk space is System Restore using to hold restore points?
Right click on My Computer and select Properties. On the System Restore tab click on the
drive that Windows is installed on and click Settings.
On the same System Restore tab, are there any other drives being monitored by System
Restore?
Here are some tips on adjusting disk space used and keeping System Restore Healthy.
