Guest Theslaz Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Whilst turning of system restore in order to delete the restore files; I noticed several things. On the drives that it shows that it is monitoring; my "C" drive is not listed. It lists my "N" drive as the system drive. I installed a new 500 Gig drive about a year ago. I made this new drive "C" and renamed my old C drive "N". At least I thought I did! What I did was; I cloned the new drive to be identical to the old C drive and then swapped them around in my drive bay. Obviously I did something wrong or not complete. The computer is working great. Any ideas/suggestions? The second thing I noticed; is that even thought system restore is on; it is not creating system restore points. It will create a point if I do it manually. There is lots of space allocated for any system restore points. Why is it not creating any points?

I opened partition magic and this is what it showed: Disk 1 has one partition F and is listed as logical Disk 2 has 4 partitions; C is listed as primary and active D is listed as logical G is listed as logical E ( Linux) is listed as logical Disk 3 has one partition N and is listed as primary and active
