While others have already give you instructions on how to access System
Restore another thing you might like to look into is drive imaging. Vista
Ultimate comes with its own backup software which will image the drive, to
either a removable drive or a set of DVDs, called 'complete pc backup.' I
can't say that i'm particularly keen on this software, but it is free with
Vista Ultimate. I much prefer Acronis True Image. Unfortunately True Image
isn't free, but either applications are far more reliable than system restore.
