Every time I try to use System Restore it shows restore points but after
going through the process and rebooting it gives a message that it could not
restore and to try another restore point. That never works. I found a 2004
thread on the same problem. The answer was to turn off System Restore and
reboot. Then delete the files in the System Volume Folder. See quote below
from Alex Nichol:
"Turn it off in System Properties. OK Out. Then I would look in the
System Volume Information folder and delete everything in it - you will
need to have Folder Options - View set to show Hidden files, and *not*
Hide Protected mode ones, and on an NTFS drive will need to 'Take
Ownership' too."
I see but can't access the System Volume Folder even though I have checked
to "Show hidden files". My C drive is NTFS. How do take ownership? I am
the administrator on the computer.
