i can't post screen shots, i took a screen shot pressing fn+prt sc sysrq , after saving the screen shot to my desktop and uploading it here it tells me is a invalid file even tho is a pgn file..... what other way can i take a screen shot so i can post it here ?
hm, you should consider that SSD drives have limited number of writes. So disabling system restore and page file on ssd drive should make its life longer.
System restore is not an I/O intense process like the page file. SSDs have plenty of write cyles for something like system restore so the only reason to disable it is for the minor increase in free space. And if you're worried about system restore taking up a lot of space there is an option under the disk cleanup operation to delete all but the most recent snapshot. You can preserve a fallback plan with minimal footprint without nuking it entirely.
But yes, disabling the swap is a good idea because it takes a ton of space and eats a lot of write cycles.

i did disable page file on C: (ssd) but i created a page file on D: (mechanical drive) so i wont ran out of memory....but sytem restore i left it alone , i'm just erasing the old ones and keeping only the most current ......
I really think concerns about that SSD "limitation" are overblown. I've seen complicated projections that estimate SSDs will average five years, against an HHD's seven years. If that's true, I think it impacts a very small number of owners, since most people (especially those around here) rarely use ANY piece of computer hardware that long! I certainly don't, so I wouldn't baby my equipment just to eek out an extra couple months I'll never use anyway.
They're actually quite robust, and they're meant to be used.
Uploading local photos seldom seems to work, even though the forum supposedly offers that option. If you have something like a Photobucket account, it works better to post from there. It's kind of a pain, but that's the more reliable way to do it here.
In Disk Management, how are these partitions laid out on your SSD? From your description, I'm imagining three partitions, in the following order on your drive:
(1) 25Gb recovery........(2) 105Gb system partition.......(3) 6Gb unallocated space
Is that how it laid out? Also, I just saw a couple different earlier posts on this thread. In one, it sounded like you used the recovery discs to -rebuild your OEM installation on the SSD, but in another, you said you cloned the drive. Can you clarify which procedure you used?
i return my firs ssd then i got this kingston hyper x and used Acronis Migrate Easy to clone this time and this is the way my ssd is partion ,
( D: ) .................................................. ..........OS ( C: )
6.00 GB NTFS.............................................. 105.78 GB NTFS
unallocated space......................................HEALYHY (SYSTEM,BOOT,ACTIVE,CRASH DUMP,PRIMARY PARTITION)

I believe the issue may be that the available space is before Windows. Except for some special exceptions, like an OEM recovery partition or a System Reserved partition, Windows wants to be the first thing on the drive.
If you really want to absorb that space, I think your best bet is to image the system partition, reformat the SSD and (if you want to use the whole thing for Windows) make one big partition, then restore that image back onto it. You don't need any 3rd party software for this....Windows Backup & Restore can create and restore the system image.
ok thx i will give it a try and report back ..........
