Problem Creating System Restore Points

I find I am completely unable to create any

manual System Restore points.

Here's what happens when I try:

1. I click "Create a Restore Point"

2. I enter a name in the dialog box

3. I click "Create"

4. I get the error message:
"System Restore is not able to create
restore point. Please restart the
computer and then run System Restore
again."

OK, so I do exactly that. Then after the
reboot I get *exactly* the same error

message.

I'm therefore unable to create any system

restore points.

Please note I'm using the Home edition which
I installed onto a clean partition in case
this information is relevant.

Also, after installation I changed the drive
letters of all partitions beyond the
partition containing XP. But everything
else seems to work OK *at the moment*.


Any and all help is much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

George W.

turn it on:control panel/system/system restore/ uncheck the box
and tell the system which HD to monitor

Make sure the partition XP is on has sufficient space for System Restore to function.
