Saving system restore points on another drive?

[BigBadB]

Is it possible to change the drive where system restore points are saved by
Vista?

I have a small but very fast C: drive, where windows and programs are
installed, and a larger but slower E: drive, where I store data and files.
Can I get Vista to save the system restore points for C: on E:, where I have
space to spare?

Thanks in advance, and my apologies if this is a dumb question - am a
complete Vista newbie.

A system restore file (System Volume Information) must be on the
drive/partition it is protecting. Each drive/partition will have it's own
System Volume Information folder for recovery of that particular
partition/drive. This is the way the O/S is designed, so no you cannot move
from C to another drive.

System Restore on an external drive? No. Even if you could, you wouldn't want
to do that. Also, it would be easier to transfer and store date folders to an
external HD than any OS files.

Installing Vista on a 32 GB drive? With the low cost of HD’s nowadays, I'd
get a 160 GB drive minimum for Vista and data folders. I suspect that if your
computer system is using a 32GB HD, that computer's motherboard and other
hardware may not be up to the task of running Vista. Check out your
computer’s Vista compatibility before trying to install Vista.
