System Restore won't start after installing new hard drive

[Mark]

I used Western Digital's Data Lifeguard 11.0 for Windows
to set up my new Western Digital hard drive and copy the
files from the old one. I used the option to create a
bootable disk.

Now Windows System Restore won't start. It gets the
popup "System Restore Application has encounterd a
problem and needs to close." It also has an option
to "Send Error Report" to Microsoft.

Anyone know how to resolve this problem?

Note: System Restore worked properly on the old hard
drive.

Regards,
Mark

Hi,
The command-line parameter is case sensitive: Try this:

1. Insert the Windows XP CD
2. Click [Start] [Run]
3. Type the following command and press Enter
"rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection C:\Windows\Inf\sr.inf"
[Case Sensitive]

System Restore core files should be reinstalled.

Alternately, you may also open Windows Explorer, navigate to
"C:\Windows\Inf" folder and right-click sr.inf [choose Install] (sr.inf
shows up as sr in windows explorer)
