You could try erasing system restore cache and files by turning it off then
back on. It would clear all your old system restores so hopefully you wont
need.

Hi,

Check to see if System Restore is monitoring drive/partitions other then the
one Windows is installed. Set it to only monitor the Windows partition and
then try running System Restore.

Hi, why is that System Restore also deleting our downloaded data (program)
saved on external hard disk if we restore our Windows?

My question? Ok.
After downloading many software from Internet like Windows Defender, Windows
Media Player, IE7 etc, I saved them to my external hard disk (USB hard disk).

Then, there's something wrong come with my Windows (XP Home SP 2)
installation so I ran System Restore and pick up a date and restore my
system. After that, the downloaded softwares (Windows Defender, Media Player
etc) are gone. They're not in the external hard disk anymore.

But yes, System Restore do keep monitoring the external hard disk. Is it
goes like that? What if i turn off System Restore for monitoring my external
hard disk (just for external hard disk)? Is it gonna be a problem in the
future?

Hi,

This is happening because the external drive is being monitored. Take a look
at the following link for more information on that.

Tips Fixes & FAQs - Should I let System Restore monitor my external drive?
http://bertk.mvps.org/html/tips.html#ExternalDrive

The best advise is to set System Restore to ONLY monitor the drive/partition
Windows is installed on.

I really agree with you . Why we must monitoring our external hard disk?
It won't affects our Windows.

Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna turn it off for my external hard disk right
now. Every downloaded programs/softwares/data, I put it in my external hard
disk.

Unfortunately System Restore in XP was designed to monitor every partition
it sees including external and some thumb drives. It may be necessary to
manually stop the monitoring of the external each time the system is
restarted. The link I provided has more detail on this.
