Windows hide amount of "lost" space, because it cannot rise above certain size.
By default the amount should be 12% of drive space...
I never changed this value - So 12% of 10GB = 1,2GB and NOT 4,5GB!
Thus I never came on the thought, which undeleted restore points could have to do to something with the problem.

Quote:
Windows stores restoration points in hidden folder "System Volume Information"
I had assumed that, but putting mouse pointer over folder always said "folder is empty". So I will add rights to admin account.

Quote:
size of System Volume Information is set in controlpanel->system->restore system
That's just the point where restore system crashes and obvious the reason for problem.

Anyone an idea how to repair it?
