• System Restore fills hard drive

  I used Windows XP Home Edition for years, with no problems.  However, in recent weeks, I noticed my hard drive filling up at a rate of almost 1 G new data per day.  I didn't add all the new programs, so I suspected a Virus or a Trojan.  I use Avast Anti-virus and keep SpyBot and SpywareBlaster running and updated.  I ran full scans with these programs and found no problem.  I even downloaded a copy of AVG anti-virus and done a scan with it problems... No..  Then, I came across a program called 'TreeSize' who did a real good job to tell me what's really on the hard drive.  BIINGO!  It seems that my system restore file increases by nearly 1 G per day.  I had about 2 months, control in the system restore points, so I changed the settings about 25 g and lost most of my restore points... AND, my hard disk capacity has increased almost 20 g.

  Windows has changed something in the month last about restoring the operating system?  I've never seen this phenomenon until just last month.  Now that I know what is eating my hard disk space, I can recover easily, but I think something has changed recently to cause this.  The ONLY thing I added to my files in the month were updates of Windows.

  Even after many years, I have only about 20 G on my hard drive, so it was unusual when I started to see the volume of data up to 40 G.  This just started about 3 or 4 weeks... and I did not install new programs.

  Now that I put the restore settings to 25G, I saw no repetition of this 'growth' in the past 2 or 3 days... so time will tell if this fixed my "whim".

  As I said, you must set SR to 1 GB... No 25 GB.

  I guess the sentence I have in bold above means that you have a separate partition for your data.  You don't need restore the system monitor this partition (disc) at all.  Retrieves a few pieces of Bert K site linked in my previous post (emphasis added):

  • System Restore monitors changes to the system and saves the State of the system as a restore point.
  • System Restore does not restore user data or documents, so it will not cause users to lose their files, email, browsing history or Favorites.
  • System Restore monitors and restores a set of file system and application, the States of these files before the change of the archiving system. System Restore also records a snapshot of the registry (Note: some current registry values will persist) and some dynamic system files.
  • Files that are monitored or excluded from the monitoring are specified in the file % windir%\system32\restore\Filelist.xml.
  • To restore a system, System Restore undoes file changes made to the files monitored, taking over the State of the file at a time of the restore point selected. It replaces the current registry with one registered for the selected restore point.

  If indeed you watched a "data disc" and it was the system restore on this drive that increased, it seems that if one of the applications, which stores the data on this disk does not respect the following recommendations:

  • To make sure that your application has the behavior desired after a restore, follow these steps:
    • Be sure to use the extensions compatible with those used in the Filelist.xml file binary application key to protect. For more information, see Monitoring of file Extensions.
    • Do not use controlled types of extensions for files modified by the user. For example, if you name the file of personal data of a user using the .ini extension, the user may lose work because of a system restore.

• System Restore error: "the changes to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»

  I had some problems with my computer recently I knew could be solved with the system restore.  Then I went into system restore and went to a restore point that was a few weeks back.  After I clicked on it and pressing the ok button, the following message appeared: "the changes made to the G: drive after this point cannot be reversed, because the drive has been either excluded from monitoring system restore or has been disabled or deleted.»  I let it continue and do the restore.  My computer has rebooted and came up with an error in system restore that says restore failed.  It's the same thing with other restore points.  I don't know why I get this error because I not made any changes to this hard drive except for copy of a document word on him.  I thought that the System Restore monitors removable disks.  Anyone know what is happening here and how I can get the restoration of the system to operate without the mistakes to come?

  I have Norton.  Disable the Tamper Protection works.  I also noticed that since the G: drive was a portable hard drive, System Restore wanted to exercise oversight.  He wants to monitor all hard drives.  Turn on external and portable hard disks prevents tracking system restore changes to the readers.  I don't think anyone would have the system restore review external drives anyway.  It is not necessary.

• System Restore does not-how do to adjust settings

  System Restore does not work on my laptop.
  It did not work because the new toshiba set by phone for me when I bought it.
  But now I formatted it and its not working yet.

  Any help on how to adjust the settings.

  Hello

  It's very easy
  First you should check if the system restore is not disabled on your laptop.
  This can be checked in the control-> system-> System Restore tab panel.

  You have to uncheck the option called turning off the coast of the the system restore on all drives.
  Please check if there is enough free space on the two drives for the files in system restore.
  In the settings you must set the disk space to use to the maximum!

  After restarting again you should start the System Restore tool and should create a system restore point.

  Good luck

• can not get the system restore to work

  tried to get the system restore back to an earlier time. says I need to get rid of the useless programs.did who. I have also some icons for files, tools or downloads

  In addition to what has been mentioned, consider the following:

  First of all, what is the last time that the restoration of the system worked?

  Check your system restore settings:

  1. Click Start
  2. Right click on my computer
  3. Click on Properties.
  4. Click on System Restore
  5. If system restore is enabled, the column status of a player will show surveillance.
  6. If not, you can delete ""disable the system restore on all drives ' and then click on OK to activate "

  Is both as soon as you try to restore to the most recent available? If so, unless you have specific reasons to keep the previous restore points, clean the rest, so that you have the most recent restore point on the left.

  To do this:

  1. run Disk Cleanup

  2. click on more Options

  3. under system restore, click cleaning of

  4. click on OK

  This will free up the space. System restore needs a minimum of 200 MB of space to work.

• Pavilion dv7. Windows can't verify the Publisher of this driver. system restore

  Pavilion dv7.  Windows Vista Home Edition

  The error message that desplays after the system recovery process, it is "Windows cannot verify the Publisher of this driver software".

  I tried clicking on the button 'Install anyway', at this point, more than 5 times.  The process does not move forward and I feel frustrated and turned off my computer.

  I started but that you have not completed the process of system restore, so there is nothing usable on my computer in terms of operating system.

  What should I do?

  Thank you.  By showing the work you've done to a representative at the Geek Squad, I was able to buy and install a new hard drive for my laptop.

  I then used the recovery disks that were created shortly after that the laptop was purchased in 2009.  Windows Vista is now on my computer.

• System Restore op after failure of HARD drive and replacement

  Hello

  I have an old laptop dv9000 with XPPro factory installed SP2, since upgraded to SP3. The hard drive failed (Seagate 80Gig). I checked with the test of the bios Setup, he said "fail" and I checked by booting from the windows installation disc CD player. He said, not found hard drive. SO, I bought a disc bytes of more 1 t (same mfr Seagate, same 5400 RPM) and installed. I have a backup network (Seagate Black armor) drive and I was able to restore the last backup. The booted cd drive the recovery disc for this program, the hard drive light blinking and it seemed to be something for 3 hours, then told it was full.

  But the new drive does not start. I've read on this forum and of the joint recommendation was to use the system provided with the laptop recovery disks. I dug through the boxes in the garage and have found the system recovery discs and my 14 cd makes system restore. :-) makes to keep unwanted sometimes. But I tried the system recovery disk and it will not start in the cd player. I get a white screen with the cursor in the left flashing top. I went back to try the recovery of Seagate disk, and now it will not start either. I tried to remove the new HARD drive. with or without a cd in the player it displays the message "No Op sysytem found." SO I think that something touched the CDdrive. But it is interesting with the blinking cursor will restart the machine, then perhaps a part of the op system is loaded.

  It is an old machine, the old system of the op. I shopped Hp store and only Windows8 available now. SO I am forced either on the cutting edge with all new bugs and learning curve, or I'm trying to get this old lady will machine. Other things I've linked, hard reset, restore the default bios.

  Ideas that you may have will be appreciated.

  Hello

  The laptop is back running with the new hard drive, Yay! and a new cd player.

  Here's what he had to, for anyone who has ever has the same problem:

  The CD player was bad. The nearest local supplier on the list for assistance parts hp gave me was a suitable replacement. I installed, and the system restore disc started and ran immediately.  I decided to check and see if the windows install disc would go and restore the sytem since I thought that I had already restored the entire C: partition. He started, but did not find the hard drive. He gave an eror message that does no drive found.  I went to the hp system restore disc and running. It took several hours reformatted the drive (by removing everything I'd put) and rebooted several times. Eventually, he came with a windows desktop computer. This is the factory installed there are over 5 years old. I installed the Seagate backup software and running. He seemed to have more options running in windows he did directly from the boot cd. One of the options was to restore the MBR. I had to find out what it was, Master Boot Record. I thought that it should be restored. The full restoration of the backup process C: took another few hours, but he finished and gave a message of the operation successfully.

  Then I rebooted and got windows, connected and got my office logon screen as it was at the time of the backup. Success.

  In the future, I'll watch that restore MBR, maybe it's there, and I missed it the first time. I have a slight nagging worry that maybe something else caused both drives to fail almost at the same time. But I'm not going to fuss with it. I hope that the machine works well for a little longer.

  Thanks to those who have tried to help.

• System restore after the shaping of internal drive and re - install XP from CD

  Recently, when we did a re-start, there was a disk read error, and we could not re - open our system.

  After several attempts and try many different things, we have formatted the internal drive and reinstalled XP from our CD.

  Now, we want to restore our system to the way it was before the accident.

  We have the external hard drive I think the system restore on it.

  Can we some how use it to restore our system so that it works in the same way as it did before the crash?

  We also have Carbonite for our records, but I don't think they can help us with the system.

  Thanks for any advice you can offer on this.

• H8-1040 video driver crashing, then system restore to properly initialize

  I've had some problems with my graphics card driver to crash. After moving, I took the card and clean the dust. The question is somewhat degraded. (As you can imagine, the issue did appear in Mode safe). Nevertheless, I decided to do a system restore. At the end of the recovery of the system, the computer never went to the configuration of the operating system screen. In fact, it just shows a blank screen now when it starts. There is no error beeps and the diagnostic system withdraws. I'm not entirely sure what to do. I tried to start in safe mode, but the computer says it cannot complete the installation in safe mode.

  If my card is dead?

  (The question seems to be similar to what is experienced here: http://forums.evga.com/GTX-550-ti-issue-black-screen-after-loading-windows-m1303862.aspx)

  If this card would be replaced, anyone have any suggestions?

  Thank you

  Hello

  There are several products listed under search for h8-1040 but if your PC is QN562AA product number, then we can proceed on this basis, or you can post your product number.

  The 7xx NVIDIA graphics cards will not work on your PC like your PC is the older BIOS version 7.  You must have a BIOS version 8 which is not available for your PC.

  NVIDIA 550 in your PC is a good graphics card and to get the same or better you would need to get the 660 of NVIDIA that is designed to work with a 450 Watt power supply.

  With all due respect, you are incorrect. You simply did not notice before D drive. D drive is a logical drive. To the best of my knowledge there is no way to prevent it from the show. However, simply disable the system for D drive restore.

• I bought a 500 GB external hard drive and did a full system backup. Then he told me that I need a floppy disk? After backup system restore was complete. What?

  I had a scare last week and thought that my computer crashed.  In the end, everything was fine, but I decided I had to do a full backup of the system.  Bought 500 GB external hard drive.  Full backup of the system ran through the performance Wizard mode & maint.  When finished, he gave me a saying of the warning, something like "insert a diskette to run the system restore" something like that.  Does this mean that if I have a major failure which is on the external hard drive is null and avenue?  Floppy?  What is everything?

  The disk is a boot disk that is used to access the backup files.

• How to limit the amount of space drive that system restore uses

  original title: how to cut system restore in two points

  my hard drive is almost full.and I'm cutting the system restore in half of all aid

  Thank you ken

  You can remove all restore points by turning off the system.  but then I'll make a new restore point for today.

  Open Control Panel systems and on the System Restore tab, you can make adjustments to the functionality.

  is incidentally, deletion of restore points can be counterproductive because they really do take up that much space, and you might not have as a safety net restore points to restore your system.

  really, you should consider adding a second hard drive to your system because programs and Web pages are only more complex and bigger in size.  If you will not be able to escape the possible low disk space problem.

  either way, microsoft provides 25 GB of free space on this skydrive site, where you can download and store your personal files.
