restore system does not work in my PC , I’m using xp, and I’ve tried every point of restoring, the message is always the same “system :-restoring incomplete, please try another point of restoring” Cry
Why do you need to restore? Maybe we can help…
You know, Windows Restore is a joke, in my opinion. When we need it, it’s gone, nothing…
Well, you need a full backup (image) of your system to be safe. Windows Restore left me alone a lot of time. I’ve give up of it.
Besides this, it’s a safe place for virus and infections 
gyllie … why do you want to or need to do a restore? The answer to this may get more help.
I was going to do software changes and in case something went wrong I wanted to be sure I could restore my system…I can’t make backups cause my cd room and my diskettes are not working
The Windows Restore feature DOES NOT allow recovering if software changes go bad…
It only tryes to restore DRIVERS (of hardware) and system files, NOT your data, your docs, your settings…
If I were you, I won’t make software changes without having a floppy and CD working… if something goes wrong you won’t be able to do nothing…
What software changes are you thinking of making?
Hi gyllie,
Here is one of the best links on system restore:

But better make a ghost file on another partition to restore with after something goes wrong, also helps for restoring after a compromise.
