Re: how do I measure the size of SVI/system volume information?



Use the CACLS command at the Command Prompt and grant yourself permissions on the folder and you will then be able to see the folder properties or access its contents.

Typical CACLS syntax for the task:

cacls "c:\System Volume Information" /T /E /G james:F

Do CACLS /? for help on the command.

Spaces in the path or user name must be surrounded by quotation marks.

C:\System Volume Information

the directory used by "system restore"
in windows xp.

Right click..properties. Just gives 0 bytes. Which is prob false.
and I cannot CD into it(to do dir /s or dir /as).. How do I see its
size?
