Re: System Restore no longer working after hard drive swap

I'll give it a shot. Thanks PA Bear. Regarding your TIP, maybe that will
eliminate those double lines in my original post. Joe

Hi. Recently replaced a "full" 60GB HD with a 320GB HD. Using Western
Digital's Data Lifeguard tools, I copied everything from the old drive to
the new. After some minor issues, the Dell PC with Windows XP SP2 boots
from
the new drive - the old drive has been removed. Everything boots/runs
exactly as it should with one exception: I just discovered that System
Restore is not working. Am getting this message..



RUNDLL

An exception error occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\System32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL"C:\WINDOWS\system32\sysdm.cpl",System



Seems like an odd file name. Is this a DRM issue? Related to the hard
drive
swap? WD not very eager to help. Didn't see anything specific on the
Microsoft site, although I could have missed it.



Any thoughts? Thank, Joe
