Ok, I tried reinstalling System Restore as described, all files
seemed to copy, but the end result was "Installation Failed"
Any further suggestions?

Since replacing my boot drive with a new larger drive (and copying
the files from old to new with the Seagate installation software) I
have been unable to access System Restore. I should have disabled
it before migrating, but forgot to do so. Here's my error message:
An exception occurred while trying to run
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL
"C:\WINDOWS\sytem32\sysdm.cpl",System"
Try Reinstalling System Restore :
Go to \Windows\Inf folder
Right click SR.inf and choose Install
Follow the steps.
Did you tried system Restore in Safe mode and how much Disk Space you have
on your machine?.
I will do a scan for malwares and Viruses First and then proceed with these
steps:

1= Run Disk Clean up on your HDD.
2= Open a Run Command and type this:
sfc /scannow click [OK] and get your XP CD handy to insert it in if it
asked you so.
3= If all fails please Back up your Data before doing any step from the
above and then do a system Repair by starting with XP CD and do system Repair
on how to do that read this from here:

Please let us know your result.
