I have XP Home version and have had some unusual issue wth System Restore.
When I bring up utilities for system restore, it shows drive I as the system
drive instead of drive C.

I can sort of understand why this might happen because I installed a new 200
gig drive 5 months ago and made my old C drive I. My system tells me that C
is my boot drive and I am not having any real problems except with restore.
Looks like something is wrong in restor's database.

Can a person make some change somewhere to get restore to recognize C as the
system drive?

Hi,

Disabling, then enabling System Restore should fix it. Reboot in
between.
The only downfall is that all existing restore points will be deleted.

Thanks but I must have some other problem also. When I tried what you said, I
received a message that it was unable to turn off System Restore because it
could not disable 1 or more hard drives. I have C,E,F,G,H,I,J. I must have
something corrupted. If I boot from the XP CD and do a reinstall, would I
lose any programs or cause any other problems? Would that fix this issue?
