System restore problem--I think

Whenever I install a new program XP creates a new system restore and deletes
the old ones. Anyone know why, and how I can retain the old ones? It
should not be a space issue on the HD, as I have an 80 Gig HD and only a few
other programs installed.

Go to Control Panel/System Restore/Settings and see how much disk space
usage is alloted to System Restore. Mine is set for max, 12%. If hard disk
space is not a concern set it to Max.

Maybe the problem is that I set up the partition on my C drive to small(?).
If that is the problem is there a way to fix it without reinstalling XP.



I just installed XP on a new 80 GB hard drive. Here is the setup:



A: Floppy

C: Disk size 15.6 MB/10.3 free-has my documents and a few downloads.

D: When I click on this icon, it says disk not formatted, do you want to
format now.

E: Disk size 74.4 GB/71.8 free-has XP on this drive.



In System Restore:



C. Set at Max 100% (15 MB)

E. Set at Max 12% (9153MB)
