Re: System restore problems

Can you see the C drive in My Computer/Windows Explorer or the Disc
Manager?... I would disable System Restore and delete the restore points
according to the instructions on the link using the Disk Cleanup utility,
restart the system and check if the C drive is now available for SR
monitoring, and if available, enable SR on that partition only. Also scan
the C partition for viruses and malware.

Use this app for the malware scan.

thinks you are right on the money with this!


I know from experience I am on the right track... but for the meantime,
just to enable System Restore monitoring on the C partition, go to
Control
Panel\System\System Restore\Select the C Partition in the Available
Drives
window and click on Settings\remove the check mark from "Disable System
Restore on this drive"...

Also consider disabling SR on non system partitions since it is
practically
unnecessary to monitor them. I usually don't let System Restore monitor
other than the System drive/partition, this is to save disc space and
because it is not necessary... as the name says; "System" Restore only
restores the "system" to a previous state and monitoring non-system
partitions is just a waste of disc space... besides when partitions get
nearly full and the space allocated to SR goes below the default 12%, the
SR
is automatically disabled so it's best to watch the system partition from
never going below the 12% and forget about the non-system partitions.

Good luck!






My "C" drive does not show as an available drive to monitor.
