Perhaps something here will help:

Check whether Volume Shadow Copy Service, System Restore Service is started and Set to Automatic

1. Type Services.msc in Start Menu search box, hit Enter.
2. Make sure that the Volume Shadow Copy Service is Running and set on Automatic.
3. If the Status of System Restore Service is not Started, Start it. Also set it on Automatic if it is not.
4. restart your computer.
Now try to do a system restore.
You may also download the Norton removal tool and completely remove all the components of Norton. Check if that helps.
Check how the computer works in safe mode.

thank for the reply but as I stated I am trying to do a image restore to a blank drive, so I am unable to check any of the suggested items, as least I do not know how if I have no system to load and do my image restore.

Sorry it didn't help. Hopefully another member will have some suggestions for you. :)

I'm guessing you are using the built in Windows Imaging...
If you are using a different program such as Macrium, post that info, there would be different instructions.

See if this tutorial by Brink helps for the W7 built in utility:

I created my image disk using window 7 recovery, there are 3 image dvd disks and the bootable repair disk. I have tried bootable repair disks that I made using Aomei,,paragon with the same result of course I do not have image disks by those programs only windows 7 that I created when I got the laptop (HP 6530b). I have tried to load the image disks onto a difference system running win 7 and win 10 with smaller and larger hard drives than I had in my laptop. Last night I loader a friend win 7 installation disk but still could not run the image disks. I have tried to image to a blank drive, one with win 7, one with win 10 all to equal, larger, and smaller disks. The equal size was on the original lap top, the others on a desktop. I do not have a win 7 install disk for my laptop as I got it over the internet. I have printed Brinks instructions but I do not know when I will try it as I have loaded win 10 on my system but will try them on another system that I have a blank drive on. I will try anything anyone suggests as Microsoft will probably want a product key when they release the final win 10. I thank you and everyone for any suggestions.
