system restore only keeps 2 days of restore points and
deletes most of them when my machine reboots.
is it possible to backup a restore point to disc after
full installation so it can be restored at a later date.
system restore has the full amount of space allocated and
i have just done a complete reinstall of windows me again
using fdisk and format.
any help please.

If SR is only keeping 2 days of restore points, then there's probably
something going on that shouldn't be!!
There's NO WAY to back up restore points to anywhere else - SR doesn't work
that way. It's not a backup tool, merely a get-out-of-jail card!

Look here for some possible pointers on what may be happening

One similar problem recently was finally pinned down to the fact that the
windows Temporary files were being pointed to the C:\Windows folder, rather
than the C:\Windows\Temp folder - it's worth checking that  - in MSCONFIG |
Environment - make sure that TEMP=C:\Windows\Temp and TMP=C:\Windows\Temp.
