System Restore doesn't work

I'm using XP home, SP2. System Restore is creating about one restore
point per day, but the last two times I tried to restore, it wouldn't
do it. Most recently I tried it a few minutes ago, to restore to a
point that was less than three hours old. I don't think I've been
able to do it since I upgraded to SP2. Is there something I can do so
it will restore?

In case it matters, the computer is a Dell 4550, 2.4 GHz P4, 1 GB of
RAM, two hard drives, CD writer, DVD writer, ATI graphics card.

Thanks, that fixed it. Also, I have two hard drives and the second
one just has data files on it, so I had the restore off on it. I
turned it back on, so that *may* have been causing the problem.

It shouldn't be a problem turning off SR for data only
drives/partitions. It's off for several partitions on two different
internal drives in my system and SR works fine. Something else was
causing the problem.
