The only reason you can have to disable the system restore is if you’re trying to get rid of a virus. Some virus infiltrate all your restore points. If this happens, you won’t be able to delete the virus unless you disable system restore.

But, once you have deleted the virus, re-enable system restore. You may never need to use it, but it’s better to just have it.

For everyone who’s trying this frustrating operation: I followed this guide to the letter (ran first PowerDefragmenter then Disk Defrag). I also used PerfectDisk 10 to compact the data at the beginning of the volume. This was only partially successful.

What really solved my problem was the free EASEUS Partition Master 3.5 (Home Edition). This program restructures the volume at boot time, before Vista starts up, and is able to move all the files that are locked in place by the always brilliant and flexible Vista system. Halfway through the process, Partition Master seemed to get stuck at 50% for half an hour or so, but then the process finished quickly and it ACTUALLY WORKED. Also, when starting Vista again, I got a screen wanting me to choose between normal boot and recovery. Recovery did nothing, whereas normal boot worked fine.

Good luck!

My vista did not ask for a point to return to and said return to factory setting. So, does that mean it will spend an eternity looking for a point on my computer that does not exsist? Can I turn it off? What will happen? I am not a techie so, plain English, please.
