See MVP Bert Kinney's System Restore page for wealth of info on it, how
to keep it healthy, and how to troubleshoot.

Note the server for this page seems to be down at the moment.

Its back up. I've got a question about it.

He says: Warning: When restoring a system from Safe Mode or from the Command
Prompt an Undo restore point will NOT be created! So if possible, create a
restore point before continuing to provide a way to reverse the process.

It seems to me that if you want to use the oldest restore point you run the
risk of destroying it if you create a new restore point. Is there any way
to know whether creating a new restore point will destroy the oldest one?
Also, what happens if you are restoring from the oldest restore point and
your restore points are using the maximum space allowed? Will the undo
restore point be created?
