Create a master restore point?

[Guest]

AFAIK winxp only allows a certain amount of disk space for restore points and
therefore overwrites old points as it goes along.

Is it possible to create a 'master' restore point that will always be
available and never gets overwritten?

thanks

No. One cannot save a particular restore point.
Restore Points are saved for 90 days, then its
first in - first out.

No, imaging software such as Norton Ghost may more suit your needs:
