As many folks in San Diego still rely on Windows XP, here's a little snag you may find helpful. Windows XP's system restore feature is a little particular about how it reacts to removable hard drives, like USB ones. If there's a change in if the drive was connected or disconnected at the time of a restore point being created, the restore operation will fail. Also, a drive does not get acknowledged as connected unless it was plugged in at the time of start up. I can theorize you could manually restart the system restore service to work around a restart. Our advice would be to go into the system restore settings and specifically turn system restore OFF for secondary drives that only store data and NOT programs or settings.
