Guest JT Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Curious as to what all the folders are in System Volume Information - ie RP200? Are these actual individual restore points and if so why don't they display in the Restore Calendar? thanks
Guest Bert Kinney Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: System Restore Hi JT, RP200 is a restore point folder. What is the exact problem you are having with System Restore?

Guest JT Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: System Restore Many times when I have tried system restore it comes back with unable to restore, blah, blah ...... So when I see these files I wondered if they were the restore points and why they wouldn't be listed on the restore calendar and why, when they are listed, we only get 4 days of restore points.

Guest Rudy49 Posted August 29, 2007 Posted August 29, 2007 Re: System Restore JT, I'm sorry for invading your post, but I really don't know what else to do. I am only able to reply to posts. For some reason I am not able to start a "New Thread" ("Question"). All I get is a file icon with a red circle with a slash through it. Can someone please help? Once again, I am really sorry JT.

Can someone please help? Once again, I am really sorry > JT. The reason you're having such problems is that you are using the awful web interface to read this newsgroup--it's the slowest, clunkiest, most error-prone method there is. Do yourself a favor and switch to a newsreader, such as Outlook Express, which comes with Windows.

Guest JT Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: System Restore Thanks for getting back on topic. I'm not trying to do a restore, just wondered about all the folders in the Volume Information - were they actually restore points and possibly why they don't display in the calendar?

Guest Bert Kinney Posted August 30, 2007 Posted August 30, 2007 Re: System Restore Hi JT, Boot into Safe Mode and check to see if the calendar is populated with restore points. This will rule out the possibility of other applications interfering with System Restore. Folders starting with "RP" are restore points. Other than the System Restore calendar problem, is the system running normally? If so, the next step would be to reinstall System Restore.
