Where they are kept is in the superhidden System Volume Information
folders. But if the needed information for System Restore to work with
them is missing, then they are of no further use. They will get deleted
by some major upgrades of the system; eg by a Service pack install for
example, though that will make one of its own as a base for the future.
If it has got into trouble, only sensible course is to clear it out
and let it start clean. At Control Panel - System - System Restore.
Check 'Disable System Restore', and OK, reboot. Now have Folder Options
- View set to show Hidden files, and *not* Hide Protected mode ones and
delete everything in the System Volume Information folder on each drive
Start SR up again, and I suggest reviewing the settings for each drive.
There is not much point having it enabled on data drives, and on ones
with System or Programs I would reduce the space allotted if more than
say 1GB - I use 500MB, the minimum is 200 which will only handle maybe a
week of points. But the default of 12% of a drive seems too much for
its own good on modern large drives
