What to do if Windows XP restore points are lost

The first step is to locate the folder named System Volume Information in the root directory of the Windows XP system disk. This folder stores the backup information of the system restore.

In the second step, we managed to back up the System Volume Information. The easiest way to back up is to make a copy directly, but the necessary compression should be used for the maintainability of the backup file.

Step 3, if the system uses NTFS partition, if we click directly on the System Volume Information folder, a warning will appear. This is because the System Volume Information folder is only accessible to the system by default, even if you log in as a member of the administrators group. In order to access this folder, you must set it up further:

Right-click on the System Volume Formation folder, select "Properties" from the pop-up menu, select "Security" from the tab, and then select "Add" to add visitors: administrators to the folder and give them full control.

Once this is done, click on the System Volume Information folder and select WinZip or WinRar to compress it.

Once the compression is complete, copy the compressed file to a safe place. After that, whether the system disables the system restore function by itself because the disk space is insufficient or we manually disable the system restore function, you only need to turn on the system restore function again, and then manually delete all folders and files in the system volume information folder (the files corresponding to the restore points established by the system itself when the system restore function is re-enabled), and then extract the backup compressed files to the system volume information folder, and then start System Restore, and we can see the restore point we need.

The steps of setting up the restoration point of the XP system are as follows

1. First turn on the computer, right-click on the computer and select Open Properties.

2. Then click to open "" in the pop-up window

3. Then click to open "System Protection" in the pop-up window.

4. Then click on the local disk (c) in the pop-up window to open "Configure".

5. Then reset the settings, select which file to restore the system and the previous version, set the disk space usage, and press enter to confirm.

6. Then select Create, enter a name, and press Enter to confirm.

By default, there will be an option for "System Restore" in WinXP systems. The main purpose of System Restore is to get the system back to working condition without reinstalling the operating system and without destroying data files. However, some WinXP users will also encounter the situation that the "System Restore" option is missing.

1 Preparation.

Before using this feature, make sure that Windows XP has enabled this feature. Right-click on My Computer, select the Properties System Restore tab, make sure the Turn off System Restore on all drives checkbox is unchecked, and then make sure that Partitions to be restored are in the Monitoring state.

2 Create a restore point.

It should be noted here that when creating a system restore point, you must make sure that there is enough free space on the hard disk, otherwise it may cause the creation to fail. The method of setting multiple restore points is the same as above, and will not be repeated here.

3 Restore the restore point.

Open the "System Restore Wizard", select "Restore my computer to an earlier time", click "Next", select a date and then follow the wizard to restore.

1. Right-click on "My Computer", select "Properties", click the "System Restore" tab, make sure that the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" checkbox is unchecked, and then make sure that "Partitions to be restored" are in the "Air Family Monitoring" state.

Since the system automatically restarts after restoring the restore point, it is recommended to quit all programs that are currently running before doing so to prevent the loss of important files.

What is the reason for the restore failure during system restore?

Loss of restore points and Windows

Mistake. or neglect. So let's analyze the main reasons for the loss of restore points:

The System Restore feature is turned off.

Some friends may mistakenly think that I only need to create a restore point at a certain time, then I can turn off the system restore function, so that I don't have to create restore points all the time and save hard drive space. But if we shut down Windows manually

XP's System Restore feature, all of your previously created restore points will be deleted, so you won't find any restore points. If you want to use the System Restore feature, you can't turn it off.

The partition space is insufficient.

A lot of friends are installing.

Software. When it is always installed in the default path, this tends to make it.

System partitions. It takes up a lot of space. Because of this, it will lead to Windows as well

XP's System Restore function stops working and stops monitoring the system, at which point the system deletes all restore points to free up partition space and no restore points can be found. Even if the partition is not enough to stop the "restore" function, the system will delete some of the previous restore points to free up space, and we will find that some restore points cannot be found. Therefore, when we install the software, we should not always follow the default path to install, and make sure that the system partition has enough hard disk space for the restore function.

When we receive.

Disk space. When the warning is insufficient, we need to be prepared to free up partition space.

Use the Disk Cleanup program with caution.

We usually use Windows

XP's "Disk Cleanup" program to clean up. Hard disk. Target.

Useless data. , be careful not to use the "Cleanup" feature in "System Restore" under the "Other Options" tab. If you use this feature, all restore points will be deleted.
