I have a 180gb HDD, and when i decided to do system restore, i had 130gb+ of free space, but after i did system restore back to factory settings, It says i have a 180gb hdd but only 80gb free space and my computer runs super slow compared with the speed before system restore...Does anyone know what happened?

Did you have any applications open at the time of the restore?
At any rate the restoration can be reversed via system restore.
I would reverse the changes and then try again...
ALL APPLICATIONS including virus checkers etc should be closed.

I had the same problem recently ( I lost about 25 gigs ) because I ran multiple SR in 1 day trying to get PC straightened out. Your SR can use up to 12 percent of HD for storing SR points wich can be alot depending on HD size . What I had to do was delete all but the most recent restore point once I got PC running correctly. To do this (IF U WANT TO) is go to Disk cleanup > more options > system restore section at bottom and click cleanup.It will ask u if u want to remove all but the most recent restore point click yes. Note: Make damn sure u have PC running the way u want it b4 doing because u will have to wait a couple days till ur pc creates more restore points .
Also u may consider doing a defrag after to tighten up disk. do it later tonight so as not to be messin with pc while defrag is running.
