If you get the Error 0X8007007B when trying to enable system restore, do the following:

Click the Start button, right click Computer, and click Properties
In the left-hand column, click System Protection
If prompted by UAC, click Continue
Uncheck (C:) (Missing)
You’ll be asked if you want to turn off protection, click Turn System Protection Off
Press OK

System Restore will work again.

how do I do this if I cannot even get into Windows 7 … at start up I am getting a message that Windows could not load, then I run system restore (a vicious loop) and then this message pops up … can I go into command prompt or do I use safe mode and alter protection properties from there?
