System restore doesn't work

[Guest]

Hi
I have just reinstalled Windows Home Edition on my Dell Dimension 5100.
System Restore is there, and it indicates restore points, but when I try
to restore to one of them, ANY OF THEM, it finishes by saying "Windows was
unable to restore to that date". It doesn't matter which date or time....it
is unable to restore.
Any ideas, anyone?
Thanks

Your system restore data is corrupted. See MVP Bert Kinney's System

If he reinstalled XP with a "clean" install and format, all previous
restore points are also gone.
