Hmmmm.
with less than 1MB space on the HD, then it's not surprising that SR is
switched off!
Try this
Boot to DOS, using your Startup Disk (if you don't have one and can't make
one from Start | Add/Remove Programs, then download a diskmaker from
www.bootdisk.com, and create the floppy by running the file)
At the A:\> prompt, type the following commands (followed by [return])
ATTRIB -S -R -H C:\_RESTORE
REN C:\_RESTORE OLDREST
When the A:\> prompt returns, remove the floppy, and reboot the PC. The
Control Files will be rebuilt, and a Restore point should be created.
Then delete the C:\OLDREST folder, and reboot again.
Finally adjust the space allocated to the restore folder (if possible)
