Whilst turning of system restore in order to delete the restore files; I
noticed several things. On the drives that it shows that it is
monitoring; my "C" drive is not listed. It lists my "N" drive as the
system drive. I installed a new 500 Gig drive about a year ago. I made
this new drive "C" and renamed my old C drive "N". At least I thought I
did! What I did was; I cloned the new drive to be identical to the old C
drive and then swapped them around in my drive bay. Obviously I did
something wrong or not complete. The computer is working great. Any
ideas/suggestions?

The second thing I noticed; is that even thought system restore is on;
it is not creating system restore points. It will create a point if I do
it manually. There is lots of space allocated for any system restore
points. Why is it not creating any points?

Should have looked at this before. I opened partition magic and this is
what it showed:
Disk 1 has one partition F and is listed as logical
Disk 2 has 4 partitions; C is listed as primary and active
D is listed as logical
G is listed as logical
E ( Linux) is listed as logical
Disk 3 has one partition N and is listed as primary and active
