system restore

[deanie44]

Hi everyone. I had to do a factory restore of my PC. Unfortunately, when i open up the system restore utility the restore configuration is missing on drive C. Is there a work around--instead of doing a factory reset-- to replace the system file. I did a sfc/scannow and it said that all the files are correct. Here is a picture of the error and my pc specs.

As I can understand your operating system is missing?
If it's like this I recomend one fesh install of windows.

I posted for some help.
I have never seen that before.
If the OS was really missing it wouldn't boot past Bios. Nothing to load.
No Winodws 7 no Snip to post.

It could be malware related, some rogue apps can sometimes corrupt System Restore. Run a scan of malwarebytes

Doesn't appear to be enough partitions for more than one OS.

Try Yowanvistas posting of Malwarebytes. After downloading click the update tab. Update then select a full scan!

If nothing is found try the SFC/ scannow.
Run it up to three times to correct problems. It will stop and tell you it can't finish.
Run it again. It takes multiple passes to repair everything.

Hi deanie44 ! Do you have a windows 7 DVD (or a system recovery disk) ?

Try it using the disk . Boot to the disk ot the system recovery option screen , and the select the system restore option there .

This sometimes happens after a repair, factory Recovery or reinstall where the HD is not wiped. A ghost remains in the machine.

Highlight the C: (missing) ghost listing, click Configure to Turn Off System Protection on it.

Now go back to the SysProtection list. The actual recovered OS partition should be at the top of the list (not showing in screenshot), highlight it, click Configure to Turn full Protection on.

If there are any further problems, please post back a screenshot of all the SysProtection drive listings and your full Disk Mgmt drive map with listings, using Snipping Tool in Start Menu.

Maybe a fresh install will be more fortunate
