I have 80gig of space on Drive F: on my pc. The c: Drive is full with only
about 100mb free.

Can I change these files to save on Drive F:? What is the procedure?

System restore points are always created on the drive that it is monitoring
The amount of space the restore points take can be adjusted.
When that space is full the oldest restore point gets deleted and a new one
created.
Right click MyComputer/Properties/system restore
Click the C drive and then settings move the little slider down to a smaller
size..say 10%.Now OK your way out. Now restore points will never
take up more than 10% of you drive.

Need more space check IE cache under tools and move it to the larger drive
Need more space check where your mail program stores the mail....move it to
the larger drive
from within the mail program
need more space check which programs can be uninstalled and then reinstalled
on the larger HD.

If you were talking about another type of "system restore" please do post
back

When you use the term "drive" do you mean drive or partition? A drive
can be sub-divided into partitions. Many users commonly refer to
partitions as "drives".

You cannot relocate System Restore points from one drive (partition) to
another. Your choice is to resize the space allocated to System Restore,
resize the partition using a third party partition manager, or
reallocate other files from C to another partition

What type of "drive" is F? What is it's present use?

How large is C?

You can not move the System Restore files. These are stored per each
drive that the System Restore system "monitors." Your best bet is to
consider upgrading to a larger drive.
