System Restore not working [JSF]

[Guest Joseph Ferraro]

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

Make sure that prior to running system restore that your AV software isn't

also running, if you have Norton it's also recommended that you turn off the

protection for the Norton product too. I had the same problem & doing this

rectified it.

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)

Bad info. Corruption is just one of many reasons for System Restore errors.

Deleting restore points is the last thing that should be done.

Besides, one cannot delete a single restore point anyway.

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.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

If that's the case shut down all virus programs, use Windows firewall only

and retry.

With some AVs (eg Kaspersky) shutting it down still won't allow System

Restore to operate - you have to specifically disable the self defence

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Security software is the trash. Some security software providers are

incapable of providing software that does not interfere

with the proper running of the operating system simply because they cannot

test their software to the thousands of variations

in configurations.

System restore is great and one of the best ideas MS has come out with.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Thanks for clarifying what you meant.

 

The Microsoft software is fragile and many have difficulty getting to

work as it should. Microsoft should have dealt with the removable drive

issue long ago.

They could also have taken steps to stop security software from

interfering. I suspect they have made no changes to System Restore since

the early days of XP.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Microsoft software is really not fragile. What makes it difficult getting it

to work properly is all the trash people

download thinking they need the trash. Virus programs for example. If you

don't click on unknown URL's or all

those 'click here' enticements you won't get viruses. I've never gotten one.

What do you mean 'removable drive issue'?

As far as security software interfering, they have to be extremely careful

so as not to be accused of being a monopoly.

How can they prevent someone such as NORTON installing their programs on a

Microsoft operating system?

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Restore points are broken if they are created when a removable drive was

being monitored and it is subsequently removed.

 

They are a monopoly. They totally dominate the market for computer

operating system. Do you think they are not in a monopoly situation?

 

I was not suggesting they should stop third party security software

being installed. They ought to be able to prevent that software from

preventing System Restore from restoring the Registry to an earlier

version of the Registry.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Have you any idea what it would cost them? (Your last sentence).

They cannot help being a monopoly. They're good. You can always go to Apple

or Linux.

They get in trouble only when they try to protect their software such as

what your last sentence suggests.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

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?

Yes I am using the Windows Firewall. I am monitoring 3 drives, I have always

been monitoring 3 drives and it has always worked.

You should only be monitoring the Windows partition.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

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.

Re: System Restore not working [JSF]

 

Joseph

 

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 here:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;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.
