I recently had a power outage while Windows 7 (x64) was loading. System booted up fine. I went to do a system restore, but could not. When I go to select a restore point is says, "System Protection is turned off". I never turned it off and it will not let me turn it on. The C:\ clearly shows protection is turned on, but when I select system restore it says it is turned off.

I think I read most of the posts here on this issue, but no go. What I have tried:
  • Manually create restore point- Works fine. Repeated many times.
  • .
  • Turned System Protection Off and then back On- No difference
  • Ran WMI.bet- No change
  • Deleted all restore points- No change
  • Ran VSS List Shadows- Got hits even though I had deleted all restore points
  • Verified VSS is on- I have seen posts to say set to manual and set to auto. I have done both. No difference.
  • SFC /SCANNOW- Found no integrity violations
  • Tried to do a Repair Install- Cannot. I am running SP1. Comes back saying it cannot be done.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Did not understand how much of what I tried you wanted me to try with this account enabled. I enabled the account. I tried to turn on System Protection. Same response, so I disabled the account again.

OK, I'll check to be sure but I'm afraid it is either a system restore or an edit of the registry. Are you experienced/comfortable with the latter?

Since System Restore does not work, that leaves editing the registry. I have done this a few times.

Is there really no way to do a Repair Install if you have SP1 installed?

Sure you can, see the tutorial. Since a repair install is quite drastic, the steps are too if you have SP1 and apparently did not make a new repair disk after insalling SP1. if that is your case then de-install SP1 first, then do the repair with your basic disc.

Add.... IF.. You can get your hands on your exact version of W7 DVD WITH SP1 integrated.... That would ofcourse be easier and work too....

I won't say I have an answer for you.
Just to state a point or 2.......

1. How did you turn System Protection on ?
Did you use this tutorial ?
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/81500-system-restore-enable-disable.html

2. You should now create ANOTHER system repair disc With SP1. ( I am assuming you created a system repair disc before SP1 installed ).

3. To be on the safe side, run a full virus scan with your security program.

4. Do a disk check which is to look for bad sectors etc. It will repair them if any found.
http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/433-disk-check.html
I'd suggest that you use Option Two.

Personally, this is how I do disk check......

Start button > in the search box, type cmd > look up to top left, right click at cmd.exe > click Run As Administrator > at the black and white window, at the flashing prompt, copy and paste this command line ..... chkdsk /f/r
> press Enter key > you will see a message that says it cannot do it right now, but do you want to do it at restart ( I am paraphrasing ) > type Y as in yes > press Enter > exit cmd window > restart your computer.

Disk check will start running at startup > do not shut the computer down > it will take quite some time > just wait > the computer will restart when it is done.

OK. Understood. What a disc image? I use the Windows 7 Backup function. Could I just reimage to before the problem took place? Would that work or should I just start over?

Did this via registry download. No change. Anyway, my issue is not as this fix describes. The System Restore button is NOT grayed out (disabled). It is solid, but when clicked I get the "System Protection is turned off" dialog box.

2. You should now create ANOTHER system repair disc With SP1. ( I am assuming you created a system repair disc before SP1 installed ). I have never created a system repair disk. yet.

3. To be on the safe side, run a full virus scan with your security program. Will do.

4. Do a disk check which is to look for bad sectors etc. It will repair them if any found.

I was reluctant to do anything drastic right now. I will be traveling all week. Do not want to inadvertantly kill the HTPC just before leaving. Wife would kill me.

Glad to, but would you mind clarifying?

I would love to fix this thing the easiest way possible, but if it requires me reformatting the HDD and starting all over I have no problem putting in the time. In the end I just want it right. Currently the HTPC is running fine, but System Restore is not working. I could leave it this as-is, but want things working correctly in the event I need system restore at some point.

BTW- Scan Disk complete. No change. "System Protection is turned off".

This might go a bit far but good to understand the consequences of a later update of SP1

Click to expand...

So, if I am not afraid of the work would you recommend a full clean reinstall?

WRT imaging the hdd. I have used 3rd party disc imaging software. Never used the Win 7 backup software(not system restore). Does this work the same way? Should I even consider this as an easier way to get things running again?

If you have third party stuff that provides (lets you save) full disc images (on an external HDD for example) AND makes you create a separate boot cd to use when you need to boot and restore a system... then that is ok.

The trouble is... a lot of people use these tools, make images of their C:... but never keep correct and up to date boot disks to actually use it to repair/re-install.

If you (also) have data backups and original install discs for the software you use.. I'd opt for a clean install. I'd only use the image from that third party tool IF it comes with a boot cd AND you are sure it is of a date from before these problems.

I was short on time yesterday so I tried the repair install. I uninstalled the SP1 then performed the repair install. System restore works again !

Strange thing though. While performing the repair the computer stated this was not a genuine copy of Win 7. Which it was. Later during the activation it said it caught a Vista activation exploit which this pc never had Vista. After retyping the key again it was accepted. Pretty strange.

I may still go back and do a total reinstall, but for now the wife is happy. :)

Thanks for the help as always.
