Help needed with nortons save and restore

[Guest]

I have a 2nd hard drive that is 30g. My primary drive has 11g of info. I used
nortons save and restore to back up to 2nd hard drive. All was well until I
ran out of room. I went into settings and changed the amount of restore
points so it should remove old 1's to make room for new. I went into my 2nd
drive and deleted restore points manually. For some reason it does not
reflect any more room. I had 26g of info on 2nd drive and still do. How do I
go about actually making room? Deleting info did not seem to clear room.

Hi Phil,

What process did you use to manually delete restore points from the second
drive? There's a good chance all restore points are now corrupted. If this is
the case all restore points will need to be deleted by disabling System Restore.

How to Disable and Enable System Restore:

I would suggest not letting System Restore monitor drives/partitions other than
the one Windows is installed on.

Hi Bert. I was referring to restore points in Nortons save and restore. Does
that have anything to do with xp's system restore?

Just in case, I went into my second hard drive and clicked open and then
right clicked delete to the older restore points (in Nortons).

Hi Phil,

Norton applications have nothing to do with Windows System Restore, other than
that breaking Windows System Restore.
