Using Norton, are you??
This should fix you up - but you should get rid of Norton if it's installed!

Boot to DOS, using your Startup Disk (if you don't have one and can't make
one from Start | Add/Remove Programs, then download a diskmaker from
www.bootdisk.com, and create the floppy by running the file)

At the A:\ prompt, type the following commands (followed by [return])



ATTRIB -S -R -H C:\_RESTORE

REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST



When the A:\ prompt returns, remove the floppy, and reboot the PC. The
Control Files will be rebuilt, and a Restore point should be created.

Then delete the C:\OLDREST folder, and reboot again.

Finally adjust the space allocated to the restore folder

I have just had a warning message that I am out of disk space (Laptop, HP
Armada 1750, 4GB) on checking I find that in my _RESTORE folder is one
labelled TEMP which is 1.5GB. I can only see it using the TREE utility,
not
with Windows Explorer even though I have checked the hidden files option.

How do I recover this space ?
