By default, WinXP sets aside a maximum of 12% of the partition's size
for storing System Volume Information, but the amount of space set aside
for this purpose can be adjusted by the user. Start > All Programs >

select the pertinent partition and click Settings. If you don't want to
use System Restore at all, simply turn off the System Restore feature
(Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Restore,
System Restore Settings) and reboot. This will delete all of your
Restore Points, freeing up the hard drive space.
