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;
