Could someone please tell me if you can restore lost restore points in windows XP due to the hdd having less than 200mb. If it is possible how is it done.

Restoring to a date of long ago is not possible since the .cab (back-up files) have been written over by the newer restored data. In other words, it is like a FIFO, first in first out. The only way to recover data, that I know of is if the data has not been written over. And in this case since it has been a long time the newer restored data had to overwrite the old data otherwise your hd would be full!
