I was JOKING (notice the smiley at the end of the sentence).
All you do is copy the URL and paste it into your message. Even if
you typed it longhand, it would still come through properly.

Shadow Copy is not included with Home Premium, it is with Ultimate/Business
& Enterprise
|
| |
| | | | | So, there are no shadow copies to clean up and there is only one backup point
on my computer.
Where do I look now? Any ideas?

How much space is "missing"??
1. Click the start menu
2. Click on All Programs, and then Accessories
3. From the accessories menu, right click on Command Prompt and select
?run as administrator?
4. Type ?vssadmin list shadowstorage? into the command prompt
5. The results should tell you the amount of storage used and the
maximum amount alloted
If you?re not happy with those numbers, here?s how to resize them.
Keep in mind, you will lose some older system restore points when you
do this.
1. Repeat steps 1-3 to get bring up the Command Prompt
2. Type ?vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=[your hard disk]:
/On=[your hard disk]: /MaxSize=[how much space you want to allocate]?
For example: ?vssadmin Resize ShadowStorage /For=C: /On=C:
/MaxSize=2GB?
You should get a message saying Successfully resized the shadow copy
storage association, and you should have more free space on your hard
drive.

21 GB is "missing."
I'm confused again, though. Shadow copy is not in Home Premium, right?
There wasn't even a 'Shadow Copies' option when I went to System Restore.
But when I go through the administrator command prompt & type the command, I
get this:
Shadow Copy Storage association
For volume: (C \\?\Volume{e124ac2a-136b-11dd-a8fb-806e6f6e6963}\
Shadow Copy Storage volume:
(C\\?\Volume{e124ac2a-136b-11dd-a8fb-806e6f6e69
63}\
Used Shadow Copy Storage space: 13.442 GB
Allocated Shadow Copy Storage space: 13.945 GB
Maximum Shadow Copy Storage space: 16.113 GB
Is this supposed to be there at all since I'm not supposed to have shadow
copy as an option?
If it is, SHOULD I be happy with those numbers?
Finally, none of those numbers account for the 21 GB difference in filespace.

What I gave you will show everything on your system that belongs to
System Restore.
Everything.
Set the "maxsize" to what you want (can't be less than 300mb) but
remember that each restore point needs over a gig of space.

Research confirms it is as you say. Thanks for correcting my
misunderstanding.
