On my home computer I have multiple operating systems installed. I use one copy of Windows XP with SP2 for my private and business needs and a second copy of Windows XP with SP 1 is used by the rest of the family. Windows 2000 is also installed to run some legacy applications not supported by XP. All three OSs are installed on separated disk drives.
Since installed SP 2 on my “personal” copy of XP I have noted that the System Restore Points seem to “vanish” from time to time, for no apparant reason.I have the Disk Space Usage set to maximum, which in this case is 960MB.
This is is not a something I had ever noticed prior to installing SP2. This phenomenon is very disconcerting because recently I had reason to use a previous Restore Point to recover after installing a software appication on my family XP sytem. As a case in point yesterday on my personal XP system I checked and there were five Restore Points highlighted as available. Today the Restore Point for yesterday is only one highlighted and available.One of the major reasons I purchased and upgraded to XP was the System Restore Point facility.
Could someone please advise me what could be causing this apparant loss of System Restore Points and what is the solution.
