TheTerrorist_75 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 It's your system. If you are running out of room on the hard drive then I would back up everything that is necessary and turn R&R off and rely on System Restore. The only other option would be to buy a larger hard drive and install it as a slave if possible and store your data on it. If your system can't handle two hard drives then I would install the larger drive and do a fresh install of the OS then transfer your backed up data onto it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loraandbush Posted March 27, 2008 Report Share Posted March 27, 2008 This type of problem mainly occurs when your system does not have sufficient space for backups Quote Link to post Share on other sites
