System Restore Fail on all available restore points
System restore failed to extract the file … from the restore point. There was a disk failure during the restore. This might be caused by bad sectors on the disk.
I get the same message, but with a different file name, with every restore point I try, and I have now tried all seven available restore points, going back to 30 Dec 2011.
The computer was working perfectly until 3 days ago when it blue screened, and has not started properly since.
It is a Corei5 with 4 GB RAM and is only 12 months old. I just don’t believe the drive has that many bad sectors.
Given that it won’t start and it won’t restore, is the only solution to reformat and start again?
