Interpretation of System Volume Information

When System Restore is enabled, there will be a folder named System Volume Information in the partition, where all the operation information of this partition after setting the restore point is stored and recorded. Is there an urge to open this folder right away? As a penalty for impulsiveness, you may encounter prompts (the partition format exists when NTFS is present) (Figure 1).

This error is not enough. The error message only appears when the partition file system is NTFS. If you use FAT32, it is not because Windows 2000/XP/2003 can only be implemented on the NTFS file system. Permission mechanism.

Don't worry, it may be because your permission is not the highest System account. Right click on the folder and select “Attributes”, find the “Security” tab, click “Add”, and the interface shown in Figure 2 will appear. Add your username to “Definitely”. At this point, opening this folder again will not be a problem, see "ld_;_restore{6D0A4536-638F-4B77-8976-2593EED1E197}” Is such a long file name very strange? Then open this folder, there are some folders named “RP*” (* represents consecutive numbers). These folders represent the length of the files according to the size of the number. The other files are The extension ""CFG” is the configuration file, “Drivetable.txt” records the drive information, "FiFo.log” is Fifo's record.

After understanding the System Volume Information file, there are two more points to note about its application:

When the restore fails under Windows, you can press when the system starts. F8 key, enter the "advanced menu". Go to “Safe Mode", use System Restore here. If “Safe Mode” cannot be restored, we recommend that you can log in as “administrator mode security mode” as an administrator and type: %systemroot%\\ system32\ estore\ strui.exe at the command prompt. After the carriage return, follow the on-screen wizard to return the system to its previous normal state.

As mentioned above, "*" is the length of time for the restore. If you don't want to restore the record long ago, you can delete the folder with a larger number.
