I have the same problem. I never see the "5 days box". Currently, when I
choose the lower dot to see additional restore points there is only one
listed. I had hoped the ones created during the install of SP1 last weekend
would still be there but they disappeared. I copied this from the help
file:

"Restore points are saved until the hard disk space System Restore reserves
is filled up. As new restore points are created, old ones are deleted. If
you turn off System Protection (the feature that creates restore points) on
a disk, all restore points are deleted from that disk. When you turn System
Protection back on, new restore points are created." and...
"To store restore points, you need at least 300 megabytes (MB) of free space
on each hard disk that has System Protection turned on. System Restore might
use up to 15 percent of the space on each disk. As the amount of space fills
up with restore points, System Restore will delete older restore points to
make room for new ones."

Over half of my drive is free (that's 30 GB free) and System Restore should
be allowed to use 15% of 60 or 9 GB. Even at 1 GB per restore point, I
should be able to choose from 9 restore points but there is only one there
now!
