Unable to create Restore Points
Frenchy
unable to create any restore points and failing with error message
(0x8004231F) Insufficient storage available.
I have 200+Gb available. I see others with same problem, but no
solution. I have run CHKDSK and it found 2 errors
Corrupt attribute record (128, ""), what ever that is, but still no go
for restore point and it shows no restore points available.
This has also broken my daily backup to an external HD (using Vista
built in Bup) as it needs to create a Volume Shadow copy and that fails
with same error.
Help appreciated

Worth checking if it has reached it's max. allowed space
try the following to see how much space is being used and how much is
allocated
type cmd into the start search bar - when cmd appears,right click it
and run as admin - type in vssadmin listShadowStorage and hit the enter
key.
Hope this helps

vssadmin list ShadowStorage with a space or it rejects the cmd.

Wrong.
If it has, then the oldest restore point(s) are automatically deleted
to make space.

Note the correct command is vssadmin list shadowstorage
Thanks

I realise that is really not necessary. My problem (and others have the
same) is it will not allow a Restore point to be made. Something is broken!

Don't want to lose any data, so what Vista Repair is recommended? A
point to a tutorial appreciated.

Many thanks for that (shucks I am a vistax64.com member as well!). I
was worried about SP1, so I will slipstream a new disk and do this
sometime in the near future.
I have Rollback Rx installed, so I am covered for restore points and
have made a full backup with their disk cloner. I just hope it is not
Snapshot Rx that has broken this? If anyone has this on an x64 system,
I would love to know. Snapshot Tech guys are checking it out in a
trial, these guys are super helpful and fast reply times.

see where it would likely disable it to avoid conflicts, though there's
nothing specific in their documentation to say so.
Also, unlike XP, you can't slipstream SP1 with an "original" Vista disk.

Hi Frenchy,
Paul's right, try Repair install first. If it doesn't work, you can
save yourself a lot of pain by backing up your data and doing a clean
reinstall - it always does the trick.
I'd like to know what causes this weird behaviour, though
Good Luck

'Reset Repository' may help, but it didn't. Note in your instructions
after Repositoryold, I suspect you meant to put RESTART IN SAFE MODE
again, as if you just reboot, you can't easily stop Winmgmt service as
others are depending on it
Also further up in your Tutorial you say to make sure VSS is set to
Auto, that is contrary to Microsoft KB article. Leaving it in MANUAL
and making sure it is started is fine
