Well, 9GB's is about two DVD's, so, yeah, I could see a recovery partition
being that large these days. How new is the computer? How recently has the
error msg been appearing? Since you got the computer or after X amount of
time?

As to why system protection is showing what it's showing... can't speak to
that, although I will say that the check mark indicates the drives for which
restore points are automatically being created. I'd have to be concerned
that there were two entries for the C: drive and the one with the (Missing)
comment is the one having restore points created. That makes me wonder.

Again, is this a new PC? If so, have you called the vendor's support line?
