1.) Start with New Dell 4550 one 40G HD Windows XP Home
2.) Add new 80G drive as a new system drive
Now both drives are connected in cable select mode
80G is C and original 40G is D. System works great.
Both C and D drives are enabled in System Restore both
are still considered system drives by XP. So one or the
other can not be disabled in system retsore. But system
restore works.
3.) Reformat the old system drive( D ). You will find
that System Restore does not work even in safemode.
Errors in AppName rstriu.exe and ModName srrstr.dll
When in safemode in command prompt
Errors in shell32.dll, control_rundll
Windos\system32\sysdm.cpl",system"
I believe this is because the old D drive that was a
system drive is gone. If before reformating the old
system drive you disable system restore completely
everything is OK. System restore can then be enabled on
the new C drive and reformatted D drive afterwards.
Just confirm to me that this has only happened to me.
If this has not only happened to me then why does nobody
( Microsoft, Western Digital, Maxtor ) know anything
about this problem.
