this is happening on a regular basis
my disk space seems to disappear with no visable signs of what is causing it
ran treesize professional (very good app),that shown the system restore folder was holding well in the access of 20gb
it is set to max @ 12%,which is about 9gb
this happened about 2 months ago,maybe less
and i just checked again,and the same thing has happened
20 gb again.

anyone got any ideas why this is happening?

Check the Registry entry to see if it's set at 12%.

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\SystemRestore
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: DWORD // Value Name: DiskPercent
Setting for Value Data: [Set the percentage of drive to be used, i.e 18 would equal eighteen percent]
Exit Registry and Reboot

It doesn't always give you the popup asking what do to. Hope it helped. Keep me posted as to the results.
