1. click on start> run> services.msc
in the services window check for system restore service and set it to started and automatic
2. open my documents folder, click on tools, folder options> view tab> show hidden files and folders and uncheck hide protected system files and folders
3. in my computer select local hard drive, look for system volume information folder and in that look for _restore folder and in that look for RP.. folder and in that look for snapshot folder. If you find snapshot that means you can restore to that date on which that RP folder was created
4. To reactivate System Restore, free at least 200 MB of disk space.
