kaini Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 this will limit the amount of space system restore uses to 2 gigs start - type 'cmd', rclick command prompt and select run as admin, then enter the following command: vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /On=C: /For=C: /MaxSize=2GB although you'd be better off doing an upgrade install to win 7, vista is a fucking turd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well almost 24 hours since system restore was shut off and things seem to be mostly well! The hard drive has not fluctuated in space, and the PC doesn't sound like it's birthing constantly. I am getting the fuck rid of vista though and re-installing XP! Thanks for all the help guys <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaini Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 you can re-enable it if you do the above stuff. it's better to have it enabled for when if more weird stuff happens to your puter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest abusivegeorge Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 It's all good mate, uninstalling Vista tonight, and re-installing XP :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caretstik Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 You might also want to do Start - Run (or wherever Run is located in stoopid Vista) and enter: cmd Then at the command prompt type: chkdsk /f It'll then ask you if you want your drive checked on next reboot so press Y, then exit and then reboot It could be that the allocation table got fucked up and that'll sort it out for you.... (and yeah System Store will eat up room too ) Until I started fapping over saw your av I took this to be a Fred post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest abusivegeorge Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Lol! I think I will actually, I'll be consulting Father first, since technnically he paid for this. Considering my Dad steals shit from work all the time I'm sure he'll be up for it. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
