Nothing about cracking, just a problem

Windows stores restoration points in hidden folder "System Volume Information" (if you wish to look in it you must add rights to that folder to the admin account)

Windows hide amount of "lost" space, because it cannot rise above certain size and for M$ users are stupid so why scaring them with some system used space

size of System Volume Information is set in controlpanel->system->restore system

Windows hide amount of "lost" space, because it cannot rise above certain size.

By default the amount should be 12% of drive space...
I never changed this value - So 12% of 10GB = 1,2GB and NOT 4,5GB!
Thus I never came on the thought, which undeleted restore points could have to do to something with the problem.

Windows stores restoration points in hidden folder "System Volume Information"

I had assumed that, but putting mouse pointer over folder always said "folder is empty". So I will add rights to admin account.

size of System Volume Information is set in controlpanel->system->restore system

That's just the point where restore system crashes and obvious the reason for problem.

Anyone an idea how to repair it?

Via Dos delete this folder ( System Volume Information )

NTFS4DOS

Then turn it off via registry:

So this may be the final end of this thread...

Deleting folder "System Volume Information" without turning off "restore system" has solved the rest of my problem.

Thanks to all of you giving me an answer.

Nobody knows all and I did learn a lot about things that never could happen as I thought.

So my last remark:
I never understood, how BillyBoy (Micro$oft) could become richest man in the world.

Stolen another guys system called CPM, changed some bytes and renamed it to DOS.
Sold it to a real big computer company called IBM for plenty of money.
Took the money and sat in the sun to get visions.
Tinkered around year for year building a GUI system called windows, knowing that it would never really work.
Employs students of computer science after their study conclusion paying badly.
But never mind, they are proud after a cuple of years and searching for a new job, to say " I worked for Micro$oft".
And it really helps.
