I upgraded from a 10GB drive to a 40GB drive. I used
Maxblast 3 to copy the old drive to the new one.
Everything went fine, I removed the old drive and set the
new drive to master, now I can no longer run Restore from
the new drive. When I click on Restore I get the
following message "The procedure entry point
RemoteAssistancePrepareSystemRestore could not be located
in the dynamic link library WINSTA.dll". I have run the
XP repair using the Recovery Console, I also have tried
most of the suggestions for fixing Restore described on
this Web Site. Do I have to erase everything on the new
drive and start the installation from scratch? Gene

... had the same problem but fixed with having
to install sp1.

This issue can occur if there are corrupted restore points or some related
system
files are missing. To troubleshoot this issue, let's go through the
following
steps:

Part I. Disable and then re-enable the System Restore feature:
------------------------------------------
1. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation marks)
in the
Open field. Click OK.
2. Click the "System Restore" tab.
3. Click to check the "Turn off System Restore on all drives" box, and click
OK.
4. Restart the computer.
5. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "sysdm.cpl" (Without quotation marks)
in the
Open field. Click OK.
6. On the "System Restore" tab, remove the check mark from the "Turn off
System
Restore on all drives" box, and click OK.
7. Restart the computer again.
8. Check whether you can use the System Restore function.

Part II. If this issue persists, please perform the following steps to
repair the
System Restore feature:
-----------------------------------------------
1. In My Computer, click the Tools menu -> Folder Options.
2. On the View tab, make sure to check the option "Hide extensions for known
file
types".
3. Click OK.
4. Click the Start menu -> Run. Type "%windir%\inf" (Without quotation
marks) in
the Open field. Click OK.
5. Locate and select the file "sr.inf". Right-click it and then click
Install.

Part III. If this issue still exists, please follow this suggestion to
collect the
System Restore log:
----------------------------------------------
1. Click Start, and click My Computer.
2. Go to the C:\Windows\System32\Restore folder.
3. Double-click the SRDIAG.EXE file to run the diagnostic application.
4. You will see a CAB file created in the C:\Windows\System32\Restore
folder.
Please send the CAB file to me.
