HELP...restore points

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

I have XP Home upgrade from 98 and I remember shutting off system restore
for something I did, and didn't re-start it. . . just uninstalled Roxio from
my computer for some problems with the program and now my 2 CD drives are
GONE. Can't do a restore from disc or anything.

Is there a way to reset the sys restore back to, say Feb? It only gives me
the point today when I turned it back on!

Really need help with this one!

Thanks,
christy

When you disabled System Restore, all restore points were deleted. This is
by design. They are nonrecoverable.

The problem with your disappearing CD drives is addressed in section 8 here;

Also, reinstall Roxio from your CDs and then run the updates
at www.roxio.com
