Now I can't get it back to that value although system protection is off for the volume.  I found one solution - pretty crude - re-create the volume. Well, I'll use this lesson to increase my system partition on disk 0 a tad. Last edited by Brink; 07-29-2011 at 10:22 AM.. Reason: merged and added quote |

| | Sorry Tomislav. I was thinking the opposite for some reason. Did clicking on the Delete button not restore Current usage back to 0 afterwards? When system protection is off and Current usage is at 0, then max usage doesn't matter since it's not used/allocated until system protection is turned on for it. You should also be able to use OPTION TWO in the tutorial to manually set the max usage to 0 as well. |

| | Unfortunately no, Brink. Once you move the slider to the right, ain't nothing gonna make it go back to showing no value at all - except recreating volumes. |

| | Yep, you're correct. I double checked, and the max usage can only be set to 300MB or more using the command prompt in OPTION TWO. That stinks.  |

Funny thing, I set my sistem partition to be 100GB and that's what it shows in Disk management, but Explorer says 99,9 GB. Well, that's aesthetically fist-in-the-eye-ish, but what can I do. I'll leave it that way. |
