By default, System Restore feature is turned on in Windows 7. Many users turn off this handy feature to save some disk space. If you turned off System Restore feature because of low disk space, we suggest you turn on the feature at least for your Windows drive so that you can easily repair your Windows issues with the help of system restore points. Windows 7 even lets you restore your PC using System Restore Points even if the Windows fails to boot. All you need is your Windows 7 DVD or Windows 7 repair disc.
