Are you using Norton Protected recycle bin?

Then turn it off, or clean it out to recover the space from all the
deleted files it is saving.
 
ok. it says theres 250MB free space. Ive done a disc clean up but it still
wont let me system restore!!
 
Under XP, I doubt 250 MB is enough, (for anything!).

Move some files off the computer, or uninstall programs you don't use or can
easily re-install.

I'm assuming you don't have a D:\ drive. If you don't have a CD/DVD writer
you could use a USB backup solution.

Are you sure it is 250MB, that is a very small amount of free space for
today's sized drives. What's the size of the drive? If that little free
space, it's not surprising things are not working. You should not let free
space get below 15% of the total size of the drive.
 
ok i will try that thank you
