system restore not working

[don't.want.spam.thanks]

Hi all,

I'm having problems getting system restore to work in XP Pro. I know it did
work at christmas, because I had to restore to a previous session as I had
some problems. (can't remember what though) my machine has worked fine
since, with not a single problem.

I was running out of hard drive space so I bought myself 1 x 120 Gab Maxtor
hard drive & Norton Ghost, and cloned from my original drive onto the new
one. everything seems to be working well for the past week, although I
noticed at the weekend that system restore was switched off. when I tried to
switch it back on I got the error message ( system restore encountered an
error trying to enable/disable one or more drives. please restart your
machine and try again ) I have done this quite a few times without any luck.

can anyone offer any sensible advice. as I have said everything works
without any problems, I just don't like to be without system restore.

many thanks in advance.

XP Pro user.
