one of the first things i do after i install windows ME is to disable system restore. it doesn't do me any good, so i disable it.
the problem is that everytime i put a new HDD in, system restore reenebles itself just like that. you probably noticed that too.
so, is there a solution to this? maybe something in registry from where i can repair this misbehaviour?
See what you think of this;

After you get "System Restore Remover Pro" and use it to get rid of System Restore, then get "Win RescueMe" and use that to restore to a earlier date.

It saved my butt a couple of times . To each his own, I did change the default setting for how much disk space it can consume . The default setting is 12%, that is to much space with todays large HD's ? Good Luck,Nick

G'day TheKid,
I had to use it a while ago to get Win ME out of trouble, it worked OK. The restorepoint/backups are only a bit over 1.4meg in size, so they don't take up much room. I run it every day and before installing anything. I would recommend this to everyone.

Thanx John.How does it compare to what it actually restores as opposed to Windows' system restore? Is it basically the same,just more reliable?
Thanx

I used for quite a while with Me and it worked great. After a while though, I decided to lean out my system a little and uninstalled it. I was never restoring back more than two days, and it's just about as easy to just use a bootdisk and restore one of the 5 registry backups. The one program I found that I won't run Me without is System Safe Gold:

I tried WinRescueXP on my XP partition, and the first time I tried to restore a backup, the system wouldn't boot and I had to reinstall. It could have been something else causing the problem, but I still couldn't recommend that program for XP users.
