System Restore Batista is Vista 12.07.2007 17:50:01 Ok this is just a minor question, I understand the save points and such but one thing that concerns me is my disk space, say for example if I can't choose this very save point a year from now. How would I be able to get my computer back to its state that it was

Re: System Restore "UnswoleLilDude" <webmaster[ at ]maximumpcguides.com> 12.07.2007 19:05:05 When Vista creates a new restore point it only saves changed and new files and compresses what it backs up. This results in very small backups. -- MAXIMUMpcguides.com Helping you get the MOST out of your Vista PC. -- "Batista is Vista" <BatistaisVista[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:DA936198-A0EB-4608-A6D4-D20212B91A19[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: System Restore "Lawrence Abrams" <cus~nospam~[ at ]bleepingcomputer.com> 12.07.2007 19:47:26 If you reformat and reinstall Vista, those restore points are gone. For what you are looking for, you would want to create an image of your current hard drives that you can restore at any point later, or use Complete PC Backup and Restore if you have Ultimate.

Re: System Restore "Leo" <ldontwant[ at ]anymail.com> 12.07.2007 20:16:30 You simply restore the image you made immediately after completing the install of Vista or immediately after you booted your new computer. You did make an image didn't you? -- Leo It is said that if you line up all the cars in the world end-to-end, someone would be stupid enough to try to pass them.

RE: System Restore Mick Murphy 13.07.2007 10:04:00 Your computer would have come with either a hidden partition containing your Vista Recovery files for you to burn to disk to take it back to factory in the future, or the manufacturers OEM System disk.
