Did you know? Windows reserves 12% of hard disk space for the System Restore feature.

If you have a large hard drive, a considerable amount of hard disk space will be reserved for System Restore. For instance, on a 250 GB hard drive, 30 GB of disk space is reserved. That's enough space to store about 42 music CDs! But remember, do not reduce the reserved disk space to zero, because Windows needs some space for System Restore to be able to restore your computer to an earlier date, if needed.

Follow the steps below to reduce the amount of space reserved by System Restore.

How to Reduce the Amount of Space Reserved by System Restore

By default, Windows reserves 12% of disk space for System Restore. On a 40 GB hard drive, that's a whopping 4,800 MB! On a 60 GB hard drive, that's 7,200 MB! Although the more space you reserve, the more Restore Points you can create, 1,024 MB (1 GB = 1,024 MB) is sufficient space for System Restore to create several Restore Points.

Connect your computers together to backup or share your files between them, using a crossover cable.
If you have a router, connect all your computers to the router and share internet connections, as well as file sharing!
It's easy, it's fast, and best of all, it's now free!

Here's how to reduce the amount of space reserved by System Restore:

Step 1: With the left-mouse button, click on the 'Start' button.

Step 2: With the right-mouse button, click on 'My Computer'.

The Objective The objective is to show you how to get computer tasks done quickly and easily. Step-by-step!
