Each one of you should give just as he has decided in his heart, not
reluctantly or under compulsion, because God loves a cheerful giver. 2

There are various ways in there. My Linux CD doesn't give me a problem.
I can mount NTFS or FAT32 volumes in Linux, and security generally isn't
a problem. Who needs a native method, when there are so many other
hacking options ?

Installing Windows on a FAT32 C: would also likely help you in this
regard.

This is the insides of mine, compliments of running WinXP on a FAT32 partition.

C:\System Volume Information
2.96 GB (3,186,114,564 bytes)

I'm sure you could find another way. Be creative :-)
It ain't fun, until you break something :-)
There is bound to be a recipe to get in there, available somewhere.

========
If you want to check how many system restore points there are
then go to:

Start/All Programs/Accesories/System Tools/System Restore

Check the Restore my computer to an earlier time/next

See where the calendar has darkened the dates where there are
restore points.

There, you can now count how many restore points there are.

Now get the back the heck out of there and quit messing around.

You can get that information by simply running System Restore. (Just
don't roll back to an earlier point!)

Keep in mind that the older the Restore Point, the less useful it is.
Consider imaging the hard drive instead if you want to be safe.

Also, in the future, to avoid confusion, please don't alter your
identity, especially in the same thread! You began as "mint" and now you
are "luke7." That's very confusing!
