System Restore ... no C: drive

[Gordon J. Marwood]

Windows XP Home Edition.

If I go to the System Restore set-up, under Control
Panel/System/System Restore, the hard drives are listed.
However, my C: drive doesn't show. It starts with E:,
which is a valid drive. The other drive partitions (I
have up to I are shown correctly. The E: drive is
shown as the System Drive, when I select E: and click on
settings. However, E: defintely is not my System Drive.
In all other respects, the C: drive seems to be
functioning correctly. What's going on here?

Coincident with this problem, the IE drop-down list
stopped responding (I have cleared the History list and
it now works) and I suddenly found that I could only get
a 4-bit display and couldn't change the display depth or
resolution (I have updated the NVIDIA driver and the
display is now working correectly).

I have done a disk check on C: and it seems to be OK and
I have done a virus scan, and that passed OK. I rolled
back to a previous restore point and that didn't help the
display problem, before I updated the NVIDIA driver.

Any help would be appreciated.

Gordon, your System Restore maybe corrupted. Check here

Select S and scroll down to System Restore.

Rich - Thank you for the link. It's got some useful stuff, but I haven't
found a solution there for my lost C: drive problem.
