Hi all,
In order to restore my machine I need "System Volume Information". How to get this folder.
Efter searching I found the following mail
at
http://www.tweaknetwork.net/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=4147

and followed the instrunction as below:

********************************
Windows XP Professional using the NTFS File System on a Workgroup

Click Start , and then click My Computer

On the Tools menu, click Folder Options

On the View tab, click Show hidden files and folders

Clear the Hide protected operating system files (Recommended) check box. Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the change

Clear the Use simple file sharing (Recommended) check box

Click OK

Right-click the System Volume Information folder in the root folder, and then click Sharing and Security
**********************************
But I don't see any system information folder created.

Why?? What I am missing?
I have winXP Professional
filesystem is NTFS.

regards

I was asking if you actually have system restore turned on and that is where to check and see.
I think maybe you are getting ahead of yourself with this. Your original problem was with popups. Someone told you to d/l and use PestPatrol and that messed up your system. Now you are trying to find the SVI files???

That link that you supplied for TweakXP.com was regarding problems some people were having when they tried to use system restore and they would get an error that they couldn't restore. The fellow (adg) that replied to you on the other site where you posted, is the author of that info.

Please try and see if PestPatrol has a recovery option first and keep (adg-Allan) updated at the other site.

Regards.
