Hello Elvin, and welcome to Vista Forums.

Are you able to do a System Restore using Method Two at boot with a restore point dated before this problem?

**elvin10** · 15 Dec 2008

no, when i click on system restore it says it "cant find any restore points on my disk, to create one click on system security", but when i click system security, it says cant do it

Well, other than a clean reinstall of Vista, you could try a repair (upgrade) install to try and fix the problem.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

yea i finally gave up on recovering the user profile, so i intalled a new windows, copied old files into new folders and here i am again downloading buch of updates and programs i had.. thank you though.

Sorry to hear that. If you have a spare USB flash drive, you might keep your drivers and stuff on it to make doing a reinstall easier on you if you shuold ever need to do so again.

I hope this time around goes smoother for you.

maybe not a spare usb drive, but do you think i can use the second partition of my hard drive? thats how i had it before but automatic back up kept on adding files to the D partition which only has like 8 gbs on it, and it got to a point where it was full, so i just formatted it, but so how would i increase the size of it to like 20 gbs maybe so i can back up files there and then in case of an accident just restore?

Well, with Disk Management in Vista, you would have to delete the partition and create a new one to make it larger.

Disk Management - Delete and Extend

and

Disk Management - Shrink Partition
