System restore

[Darrell]

I moved my entire hard drive to a new hd with Drive Image
by powerquest
flawlessly, until now. System restore will not work in
XP Pro. How do I
repair system restore or reset it?

Darrell;
You probably have corrupt files in System Restore.
Turn off/on System Restore to delete corrupted files:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore.
Click System Restore Settings on left side.
Check "Turn off System Restore", click OK, follow prompts and reboot.
This deletes all Restore Points including corruption.
Then go back and turn on system Restore and create a Restore Point.

Click on system restore--on left side click system restore settings. Turn
off system restore. Reboot, then turn system restore back on. This in effect
clears corrupt system restore data.

Uhhm? Thank you for the prompt suggesstion however I
can't seem to get to the "Left side" that both posters
are referring to. The program gives me an error message
and the option to send to microsoft. It's
tittled "System Restore Application has encountered a
problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the
inconvenience"

Please advise how to turn off system restore another way.

Darrell;
Reboot to Safe Mode
Reboot, tap F8 about once a second, at the menu choose Safe Mode, then
try to turn off System Restore.

Otherwise try
Start/Run
Type "cmd" ENTER
Type "sfc /scannow" ENTER
Have the Windows XP CD nearby.
This will check and replace corrupted files.
