System Volume Info Cant See Size
Dec 27, 2009
I noticed a big discrepancy between C drive used space and the files I actually have on C drive ex programs, windows , users etc. Those files add up to approx 32.5G. whereas the C drive info indicated that I haves used up around 67G out of 400G. I assume the rest must be Restore points etc. However when I click on properties of the System Vol Info folder I see 0 Bytes. When I use the command VSSadmin I see that 34.5G out of 55G is used.
Why can't I see the size of the System Volume Folder in Windows Explorer even though I am an administrator? Is there something I must do to give myself the appropriate privileges? I believe I should be able to view the size of the System Vol Info file because I can do so on my laptop which is also running Vista?

I suspect many other Vista HP users - are suffering from having very limited system restore capabilities (short history, just a few points) With the help of Mark and a 3rd party utility from it has been discovered that my Vista HP system is putting an awful lot more into ShadowStorage (where Vista keeps the System Restore points) than it ought to (because unlike Ultimate etc. there is no "restore from shadow storage" file/folder versioning capability in HP)
I would be grateful if, for comparison purposes you, could share the following info on your vanilla Vista HP system restore points (as long as your system isn't brand new and hasn't had time to try and accumulate much - say for systems older than 1 month?)... if you could just bottom post and stick the answers into the "colums" below that would be *most*

This was posted on Vista.general.discussion for a couple of days ago. I have an old system disk with XP which I moved to the E-drive when I installed Vista on a new disk. Everything of the OS on the old XP disk is deleted with the exception of this System Volume Information. I?ve taken the ownership and is now allowed to look into the folder. But no way of deleating it. No usable answer was given to the question other than moving my files to the C disk while formatting E. that might be the end solution. But does anybody know of a trick with or without editing the registry.

I have a 198 GB HDD that has only ~3GB of space left. I cannot delete
any more data, i already did disk cleanup and deleted any non-critical
files. I did a disk analazyz and found that the system volume
information folder is taking up an enormous 89 GB of space that's almost
as large as the files I put on there (107GB). This is my server machine
(wndows server 2008) so there is not any system restore to reduce. Is
there anyway to safely reduce the space that this takes up.
A quick peak into the file tree shows that just one file takes up over
67 GB of space.
I'm also using Bitlocker on this and all drives.

I am running Vista Ultimate running under VMWare 2.0.2 on a MacPro 10.5.7. I had to recover my c: drive due to some VMWare corruption issues. We can now see the drive, but when I try to boot from it I get "Missing Operating System". If I boot from the Vista Ultimate CD to do a repair, it does not see the OS and so won't do a repair.
Running a command prompt chkdsk c: says "The type of the file system is RAW" and it fails. dir c: gtives "The volume does not contain a recognized file system". Diskpart list partition shows "Partition 1 Primary 40 GB 1024 KB". Filesystem shows "UDF Allocation Unit size 2048". I tried booting from the Norton SystemWorks CD for their disk utility, but evidently the CD is not bootable.

I can't get them back either by checking them in the Start Menu Properties as they are both grayed-out or by rebooting. I still have network & internet access and sound. Vista Ultimate SP1 x86.

Vista Home Prem 32bit. Has anyone come up with what is causing System Restore Points on a PC that has been running for almost 2 years where Restore points were Restore Points took 5 to 7 days to equal 1GB, and now suddenly over the past 3 weeks each restore Point is taking up 3 to 4GB of HDD space Daily? I know its System restore using up space, if I turn it off, which deletes all Points, I regain the Space lost....but the process than starts over again. There has to be a file(s) that grew in size in 1 day causing this......

I am running Vista Business x64 on my notebook. It is a C2D 2.00GHz with 4GB RAM and a Geforce Go 7700. My question is, what would be the optimal size of the virtual memory (page file) that my system should use? I currently have min=max=4092MB. Should I lower it or raise it to be 1.5x or 2.0x my RAM? Or should I leave it as 1.0x my RAM like it is now?

System Restore images are eating my HD space alive! With XP it was easy to limit the percentage of HD space it could gobble up, but with Vista Home Premium I can't seem to find where to change it. Has MS in it's wisdom taken that control away from us or have they just hidden it somewhere new? If the later, somebody please clue me in as to where. I've got less "stuff" on my new Vista Home Premium PC than my older XP PC yet Vista has gobbled up 75 gig for what I'm doing on my XP machine in 24 gig. I know Vista is bigger to start with, but when I installed 3 gig worth of apps, I suddenly ended up with 24 gig less C: drive space!

I am getting ready to use Brink's tutorial on setting a scheduled System Restore point each day and I noted that he said that it was standard for Vista to make a Restore point each day at start up and one at midnight. Last time I looked I did not have these in my list of points, so I checked to see if the startup and midnight points were indeed enabled to be created. They were. But when I went to look at System Restore points available I had none of the startup or midnight points available. Further checking showed that 2 days ago when I installed Nero 9, it made 40 restore points in the 17 minutes it took to install! Why would it do that? Does it make any sense? I made one before I installed it, and okay, I could see it might make one itself before the install, but ... 40??!
So, am I correct in assuming that because of these 40 restore points the system is now not able to save the StartUp and Midnight points because I also manually have made one or two per day over the past few days, so it keeps the manual ones and the Nero ones and throws out the System-created ones because there is not enough room and they are the lower priority? Or what is going on here? I did not change my default system restore storage size or anything, it is set at default settings.

No sound: it's just not working, and whenever I try to change the volume from the taskbar, a window pops up saying "Volume Control Applet is not responding". Also when I right-click on the sound icon and go to 'playback devices' and then go to the recording tab, it freezes (the window) and says "Windows Shell Common dll is not responding. (I don't know if this is related but my iTunes isn't working, I double-click to listen but the little time bar at the top doesn't move at all, but the window does not freeze)

I installed Vista a while back, on a system pretty much formatted this way:
partition 1: linux
partition 2: XP
partition 3: linux swap
partition 4: extended {
partition 5: linux home
partition 6: linux usr
partition 7: Vista
This worked fine. Perfectly, in fact, and I was really pleased with how smooth the Vista install went. I noticed that Vista installed its bootloader on partition 2. Since I was going to trash XP at some point, I figured I would cross this bridge when I got to it. I got to that bridge last night. It was time to install a different flavour of linux, and trash XP. But nothing's ever easy... I reinstalled linux so that things look more like:.........

I had Vista Ultimate x64 installed on my machines, and wanted to install the x86. But, when I tried to install the x86 after deleting the x64 version, I now get an error that says that "Windows is unable to find a system volume that meets its criteria for installation." I have reformatted the drive and all else that I can think of, but, it it continues to throw the error message. What should I do? I am sure that my system and hardware is sufficient to handle the Vista install, and I am trying to install to the same drive that I had the other installed to: Processor 2.00 gigahertz AMD 64 Opteron's (2 installed)

While browsing files and folders I've noticed something extreemly annoying. You can see the size of individual files in the Size column but you cant see the folder's contents size. This extreemly frustrating and I cant seem to find where I can enable that function. I know you can scroll your mouse over folders one at a time and a window will apear and you can see the size then, but thats just inconveniant for what Im doing. I need to be able to glance at multiple folder sizes constantly.

I created a folder, _savedoc, and I've got it for all received attachments. Any mail that comes with an attachment, I click to save and it goes to that new folder.
But...in that folder, there is only than filename and size. But since they are sorted by filename, I can't tell if something came today or a year ago.
Any idea why the date does not show?

Newsgroup info about windows 7. There is a problem with the alt.windows7.general newgroups. I don't think it is named correctly. That is why some news severs are not caring this. I think. Here is my new server response. the idea is that there's discussion in alt.config, a proper newsgroup charter is written, there's agreement on the actual name (alt.config discussed alt.os.windows-7 last week), and someone sends a control message. This is necessary to ensure adequate interest and agreement.

I used easy transfer to move files from an old Xp pc to windows vista pc. I then tried to do shared folders between the new pc and my laptop which is an xp system. I can see the laptop on my vista pc network and I can access the laptop files. When I click on folders in my vista machine that I identified to share they show as shared. When I go to my laptop with xp the new pc shows up in network places. However, as soon as I click on the icon for the shared folders I get an access denied -don't have permission to access. On my vista machine I have password protection off , discovery on, public folder on and file sharing on. The public folder allows me to click on its folders with no access issues but all the files that were transfered using easy transfer say access denied,

I'm hoping this isn't a repeat of an existing thread - I couldn't find any directly-related info. I have an HP Pavillion running Vista Home Premium 32 bit. I thought I had a virus and I ordered the recovery disks from HP. The laptop was working somewhat but sometimes would only run in Safe Mode. The problem seemed to be a failing hard drive. I replaced the hard drive yesterday. The system recognized the drive and the quick test and comprehensive test both passed.
I reinstalled from the recovery CD and it seemed to go through all the steps. At the final self reboot, the screen eventually goes black (lit, but black) with the mouse cursor. I then get a message: Windows could not complete the installation. to install windows on this computer, restart the installation. HP support says it could be the motherboard. Are there any other things I could try before taking in for service? Is there any other way to do a truly 'clean' install?

Somewhere for some reason I now have almost 200 Unknown contacts in my contacts list. If I double clk on the name in the contact list which is named Unknown it will open the address info box and let me see who it really is....NO Matter what I change in that box that shows the real contact persons info along with their real names....not the name Unknown..... in fact the name Unknown does not appear anywhere in the contacts info box.....So how do I either merge them with the correct individuals info .... or change the name to read properly

My daughter bought a computer several years ago made by HP that runs Vista Home edition 32 bit we upgraded the video card and power supply when she bought it. Went with NVidia GeForce 3500 at the time pretty decent card we thought. Well now shes had some issues that forced her to restore the system and we couldnt find the install info for the card. Went to NVidia's website and downloaded drivers now the computer wont boot up. We keep getting a blue screen that says windows encountered a problem. I cant remember if the system came with a card that wasnt cutting it or if there was integrated graphics on the motherboard. So when we experienced the problem booting after installing drivers for the card I went into setup and changed the video to onboard graphics now we get nothing at bootup and monitor keeps going to sleep.

I have been online for over 8 yrs and on my XP i refused to use your server. Outlook and now i am finding that with my new Vista some things i am forced to use you for. like scanning pictures to send to others and if you dont have the right info input; you will be advised of a lot of error remarks...As long as you have been around; i think you should make your server more friendly user for people that are not pro's or experts..
