I can't get System Restore to work? When I use it, I get a message that it
can't be restored at that point & to try again. I have tried all kinds of
points and none work? What gives....

Hi, Rick.

You'd probably have a better chance for help on System Restore in a WinXP
group, rather than here in the Win2K file systems group. And it's not
really a file system (FAT32 v. NTFS, for example) question. Try WinXP
basics or general.

I wanted to get to an XP group, but couldn't find one? What are they called?
How do I get to them?

Hi, Rick.

You are using OE6, so just click Tools | Newsgroups... You may need to
click Reset list to be sure you're up to date. Then type something simple
by distinctive in the search box at the top: xp. works well; adding the
period after xp narrows down the search a little. Note the many non-English
groups; if you're as language-challenged as me, the .de and .jp groups won't
do you much good. If you also include "win" in the search box, you won't
have to wade through all the office.xp NGs.

For the OP ... do you have a FAT32 partition or are all of your HDDs
formatted for NTFS?

Ok, given that you have all NTFS partitions, did you SET a restore point,
make changes then restore to the point you set?

Note on FAT32 and SR: My experience with doing this in FAT32 is that SR
likes to dup directories, which is fine, until your in development, restore
a point several times and then find N copies of critical directories in the
hierarchy. I also note a higher incidence of SR failure to restore with
FAT32 partitions.
