Default Need help: System Restore malfunction

Got a question that is rather technical, but since Dell hasn't been
able to help me, I thought I'd try here. I have a Dimmension 2400, XP Home
SP1 installed. System Restore is enabled; however it is randomly deleting
ALL my restore points. I did some checking inside Control Panel, and found
some logs that explain why this is happening. Unfortunately, I don't have
the technical knowledge to understand what the heck it means. All I know is
that the same unexpected error is repeatedly causing this problem.

Before I post the logs here, I'd like to mention that I have run
system file checker and nothing wrong was found. I also reinstalled system
file checker last night using the XP SP1 disc. But again this morning, all
restore points were deleted. Okay, here are the two logs:

Event Type: Error

Message:
The System Restore filter encountered the unexpected error '%2' while
processing the file '%3' on the volume '%4'. It has stopped monitoring the

Explanation

System Restore encountered an error when backing up a protected file.
This error causes System Restore to stop copying files and purge all
existing restore points. System Restore will automatically restart after the
next restore point is created.



User Action

System Restore will restart monitoring file changes immediately if you
manually create a restore point (if one has not yet been created).

To manually create a restore point

1. Click the Start button, point to All Programs, point to
Accessories, point to System Tools, and then click System Restore.

2. Click Create a restore point, and then follow the
instructions.

Correction: I reinstalled System Restore last night. But it didn't
help.

run check disk and if that passes then follow the instruction you posted
regarding creating a new restore point (at which time it should begin to do
so automatically again).

select start, mycomputer, right-click on the drive you want to check and
choose properties, tools (tab), error-checking, check now, start.... do this
for each local disk (hard drive) that you may have.

I was studying the error logs, and it lists something called
harddiskVolume2. But I don't have a hard disk Volume 2 on my computer.
Just one hard drive, 80GB.

In case you didn't already know, "Flea-Bitten Dog" and "History Fan"
are one and the same. I have two computers hooked up to the Internet.

A volume is any discrete unit of storage -- a diskette, a partition, a hard
drive, a CD, etc. In your case it likely refers to the second partition on
your hard disk.

Are you certain about that? Dell places a hidden FAT32 partition about 32 MB
in size on the hard drive. It contains diagnostic tools.

Well, if there is a 2nd partition on my hard drive, it was created
by XP, not me.

Thanks, but Dell already sent me that link. The info I got there
enabled me to learn about the error message causing System Restore to
malfunction. But not how to fix it.
