The restore points should be shown on the calendar with the date in "bold" text. It's kinda hard to see the bold sometimes. Windows defaults to creating a new restore point every day, but if your PC is turned off this won't happen. But you should have at least a few restore points going back a month or so.
When checkdisk runs at bootup does it completely finish and show no problems? If so, windows should not run it again the next bootup. But if it's not finishing, or it finds a problem, it'll keep running till you either fix the problem or manually override the setting. Here are a couple other things to check: 1. Check to see if there is a task scheduled to run chkdsk. Go to Start and type "task scheduler" in the search box. 2. Go to Start and type MSCONFIG in the search box. Somewhere in the config utility there's an option to disable Scandisk at bootup. Not sure exactly where it is in Win7, but look on all the tabs. Might be listed under an "advanced" button. After disabling it, click OK back to the desktop and reboot. You'll see a message that you've made a change to config - just put a check in the box for "do not show this message again".
