Vista 64 Bit Ultimate. All of a sudden (seems approx 2 weeks ago)
unable to create any restore points and failing with error message
(0x8004231F) Insufficient storage available.

I have 200+Gb available. I see others with same problem, but no
solution. I have run CHKDSK and it found 2 errors
Corrupt attribute record (128, ""), what ever that is, but still no go
for restore point and it shows no restore points available.
This has also broken my daily backup to an external HD (using Vista
built in Bup) as it needs to create a Volume Shadow copy and that fails
with same error.
Help appreciated

Worth checking if it has reached it's max. allowed space
try the following to see how much space is being used and how much is
allocated

type cmd into the start search bar - when cmd appears,right click it
and run as admin - type in vssadmin listShadowStorage and hit the enter
key.

Hope this helps

vssadmin list ShadowStorage with a space or it rejects the cmd.

They should be a space between list and ShadowStorage
It should be vssadmin list ShadowStorage

Wrong.

If it has, then the oldest restore point(s) are automatically deleted
to make space.

shows 70 Gb available and 0 used

Note the correct command is vssadmin list shadowstorage

Thanks

I had already resized it to 70 Gb (from 40 Gb) from a Google search, but
I realise that is really not necessary. My problem (and others have the
same) is it will not allow a Restore point to be made. Something is broken!

Have you tried to do a Vista repair??

I have run SFC /SCANNOW and it found nothing.

Don't want to lose any data, so what Vista Repair is recommended? A
point to a tutorial appreciated.
