  • Failed to create the restore point

    Hello

    I think I can off the coast caused a problem if I ever recover my laptop which is a Pro L450D phone by changing the settings in the system protection box in windows 7.

    I was looking to create a restore point before I upgraded to Windows 7 with service pack 1 and in the creation and restore area I noticed that 3 disks were available to have system protection turned on but only 1 was actually activated system protection? OS Install (C) had no active protection system and I think the recovery partition, WinRE (D) allowing for the protection system was the system disk, I'm not sure at 100%, but of course the 3rd entrance was my DVD player, in any case what I did I clicked to turn on protection for the disk OS Install (C) and an error pops up saying that it was not possible I clicked on ok and when this error went off the screen I noticed that the drive is now enabled for the protection of the system, but he was now also the system disk? and the 3rd disk seemed to disappeared from the region where the available drives appear? I'm a t a loss as to what happened but I think the worst cases, it's that if I ever want to recover my system through the recovery options, I'm not able to by changing the settings of the system, any help on this will be appreciated, I created the recovery disc when I first bought the laptop before I did anything else still with a bit of luck , I hope that this will be my go out the wrong card if I need to use or restore the system in this way.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hi stevieboyfitzy,

    Do you want to create a restore with the built-in Windows software point or what software you used?

    Well, if you are installing Service Pack 1 I put t he of needed to create an additional restore point. I installed Windows 7 Service Pack 1 on both my notebooks and installation was operating normally, no problem.
    In addition, I would like to make a backup of all important files on an external drive such as USB HDD.

    If you have already created the Toshiba Recovery disk that you are on the safe side. In the case where I would go something wrong, you are always able to restore the original settings. ;)

    This has happened for a very long time.

    Does really say '... sysdm.cpl "?"

    Is that what the text complete and accurate of what the message said exactly?  (there is no sysbm.cpl in XP, but there's a sysdm.cpl).

    What happens if you click on start, run and enter in the box:

    Click OK - the system properties box opens?

    What happens if you click on start, run and in the type box (exactly):

    %SystemRoot%\System32\restore\rstrui.exe

    Click OK - is the open window of the system restore?

    What is exactly the process (step by step) you are using when you try to create the restore point and when in the process you see this message?

    I think it's a miracle that the Microsoft support engineer can provide a link to an article when the error message report you is a little out of whack and articles doesn't mention your error message at all.  It's real good troubleshooting or clairvoyance!

    MARKTRAVIS

    Hi Mark,
     
    I appreciate the efforts that you put to publish the query on this forum.
     
    However, it would be better if you can provide some details related to the query:
    (1) is there a third party security software installed on the computer?
    (2) there the restore points that are created on the computer before this problem?
     
    System Restore automatically recommends the last restore created before a significant change like installing a program point.
     
    To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space on each hard disk with the system on Protection. System Restore can use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills up with restore points, System Restore deletes older restore points to make room for the new.
     
    You can also follow these steps to increase the memory allocated for the restoration of the system:
    (a) press Windows and Pause Break to open System Properties.
    (b) click on the System Protection option.
    (c) click on each disc.
    (d) click on Configure.
    (e) check if the allocation of memory on each hard disk is allocated.
     
    The settings above, you can also check if there are restore points available on the computer. Click System Restore, and check if you are able to find restore points.
     
    To solve the problem, if you have installed a third-party security software on the computer, I suggest you temporarily disable and check if it solves the problem.
    Important note: Security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
     
    Please let us know about the status of this issue.

    Sometimes malicious will afflict your system restore to prevent you to find and remove malware.  It would much rather you trick into thinking that you need to repair or reinstall your XP when it is not necessary.

    System Restore is not a panacea.  Why do you want to use a previous system restore point?

    Sometimes the system restore fails, usually when you most need.  For this reason, some people don't rely on the system restore and make their own backups instead.

    In order to back up the registry, C:\WINDOWS\ERUNT is both free and easy to use.

    For more full backups, you must decide whether to back up only the data or the entire system.  It is easy to back up the entire system using a disk cloning/imaging application.  Here are a few:

    If you have a Western Digital hard drive, you can get a version of Acronis True Image free of WD (http://support.wdc.com/product/downloaddetail.asp?swid=119) or you can get the software of cloning separately (this is not an exhaustive list and in no particular order, some are free, some not):

  • The system restore points, how can be stored/kept?

    I had problems restore XP on the computer of a friend.  I can't after installing SP3, a question that will be asked in a separate post.

    In an effort to not having to do a full system recovery on the computer in question, with this latest attempt to recover the operating system and install all updates, I started the creation of restore points for the system after each step, I took to get things running and upward.

    And that is, after installing SP3, with installation fails and then going back until the restoration of the system to an earlier configuration, I found none of the points longer existed the system restore.   :-(

    Is there a maximum number of restore points in the system that can be stored in XP and later Windows operating systems?

    Hey, Jose,

    I'm sorry for the late reply to your post, but I removed the weekend baby a bad back that makes me mad.

    I'll try to put your comments in quotes, with my response immediately after, flea.

    The hard drive is 160 GB.  The car had 2 partitions, the recovery partition.  Before reinstalling everything from scratch, I've used Easeus Partition Manager Home Edition to create a 3rd partition to move the original data of C:\ drive to your new partition so my friend can sort files and keep it as he and his family want and discard the rest.  I just copy everything that I can, because I don't know who, what, and where they have stored files.  I actually found a file stored in the recovery partition, but I moved it.

    • Read the KB article.  To make sure that we are on the same page, I get "system drive" means C:\.
    • Lack of free space should not be a problem.  C:\ is 32 GB, 10.1 GB used.  D:\ is 111 GB, GB used 21.2.  E:\ is 5.98 GB, used 5.00.  E: is the recovery Partition.
    • No disk compression
    • Did not display the warnings system restore.
    • I do not turn off System Restore fo any player.
    • This isn't an upgrade of the system to an earlier version, I just turn on the computer the way it came, new out of the box.
    • The system was always restored from the recovery Partition.  I have a set of restore CD, but they have been written about the recorded side with a felt marker.  I have not tried cleaning off the coast, this will be my absolute last resort.   :-)
    • Disk cleanup does not give me tabs and options as mentioned in the article.  I guess that these show upward when you upgrade from a previous version of the operating system.
    • I don't think I'm under low disk space.    :-)
    • Does not not after the age of 90 days, nor have I have reduced the size of the data store.  I didn't know either of these possibilities before you read this KB.  See how the KB has been written, I suppose that these two parameters can be changed.  Can you point me in the right direction for how to do this?  I have a computer multiboot (XP Pro and Vista Ultimate Edition) and I would change the date of age never delete a restore point, because the computer is rarely used nowadays.

    "To answer your question:

    The settings default for the accumulation of Restore Points is 12% of the size of the monitored hard drive or 90 days (both values are adjustable of course).  Microsoft seems to draw attention to the way in which the Restore Points "live."   "Then, the oldest Restore Points will start to get deleted to make room for new Restore Points (see also KB950249).

    • 12%, eh?  Is it possible, in fact, I have exceeded this number by 12% by creating too many restore points?  Knowing what I was doing, which seems to be a possiblity says, as restoring all points were never deleted, only the earlier.
