60gig unaccounted for on HD
How do you disable the restore point option?
-- J. Carlos "Richard Urban" escribió en el mensaje de ... A restore point is created every time you install a new program. A new restore point is created every time you install a Windows Update. A restore point is created every day if you do nothing else. Need I go on? -- Richard Urban Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience "mousetopher" wrote in message ... Hello everyone, about two weeks ago I bought a brand new Acer Aspire 5810T with Vista Home x64 on it. Out of the 454gb available on the 500gb HD,147gb has been used. From what I can tell, here's what's taking up the space: - 50gb personal files - 20gb Windows directory - 4gb Pagefile - 3gb between the Program Files directories - 2 - 3gb miscellaneous other files The TreeSize program confirms that there's only about 85gb in use on the harddrive. So wtf? Where's the other 60gb going? Am I just being stupid and forgetting something simple? Recovery is only 11gb, and it's on another partition (not part of the 454.) I appreciate your help && advice.  *ETA - *Nevermind! I read another post (should've done that first, sorry :P) and discovered it was System Restore. I disabled it and gained 62gb back, then reenabled it and used 3gb on the first restore point. Why on earth is there 62gb worth of System Restore data on a brand new machine? -- mousetopher
