What are your anti-virus and anti-spyware arrangements? What firewall are
you using?

Is System Restore monitoring more thane partition / drive. It should only
be monitoring your Windows partition.

It means the restore data is corrupt so you may as well delete it and
create a new restore point. If you need to restore, you must select
an earlier restore point.(Find one that works)

When I run the system restore and choose a restore point, the system
starts the restore; and then after the reboot, I get the message
that the restore did not complete, no changes were made.

How can I resolve this? Any help is greatly appreciated

Joseph

How many drives is the System Restore monitoring?

You are using the Windows Firewall and not something like Zone Alarm?

Have you tried to use a restore point in Safe Mode?

You should only be monitoring the Windows partition.

Sorry Gerry, the 3 drives are in the only partition I have, and it is
Windows, like I said, it has always worked and suddenly it is not.

Each drive can comprise one or more partitions. If you have 3 hard
drives you have a minimum of 3 partitions. You ignore CD / DVD and
floppy drives. A windows partition is also called the system partition.
It contains the operating system.

What do each of your hard drives contain?

Are you using any software to back up your system including data? If yes
what is it?

I would be interested in seeing a Disk Defragmenter report. Open Disk
Defragmenter and click on Analyse. Select View Report and
click on Save As and Save. Now find VolumeC.txt in your My Documents
Folder and post a copy. Do this before running Disk Defragmenter as it
is more informative.

Gerry, read he
http://support.microsoft.com/default...;EN-US;q100525

Microsoft's nomenclature is very strange. Although one expect the
System Partition to be the one Windows is installed on, Microsoft
calls that the "Boot Partition." The System Partition "refers to the
disk volume containing hardware specific files needed to boot Windows
(NTLDR, BOOT.INI, and so on). On Intel x86-based machines, it must be
a primary partition that has been marked active. On x86 machines, this
is always drive 0, the drive the system BIOS searches during system
boot for the operating system."

It sounds backwards to me, but that's the way it is.

Think of the old MS-DOS SYS command and the logic of using the term
"System partition" becomes a bit clearer.

Your correct and as you say they are misnomers. I will have to avoid
these terms as they mislead us mere mortals.

I'm with you entirely. Rather than use the "correct" term, I prefer to
just not use either term.
