System Restore error message

[churin]

If I attempt to launch System Restore, the following error message is
returned:

There was an unexpected error.
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntaxis
incorrect.(0x8007007B)
System Restore will now close.

The OS came preinstalled with the machine(Dell Inspiron 1501) and all I
have done is installing a couple of application softwares.

How can I fix this problem?

I found the solution from MS KB as follows:

This error is caused by faulty imaging by the original equipment
manufacturer (OEM) that results in the presence of an invalid volume. To
see if this is the problem, go to System in Control Panel and open
System Protection. There will be two volumes shown, one of which is
selected and named “Missing.” Selecting C:\ and deselecting “Missing”
solves the problem.
