I have a fairly new computer (3 weeks) and have just been trying to be anal about keeping it clean.   As i got a blue screen i decided to revert.   I decided to try to revert to a time previous to the problem occurring.   After reverting, windows would not start.   I tried a couple of other recovery points around that date but all would lead to windows not starting.   

I was selecting the recovery points by date which i now realize might be a mistake as it does not give you options nor were all the recovery points being shown.  After some hours with tech support i realized on my own that it is better if i choose recovery points by file name as this gives me options to choose from.  Unfortunately, by the time  i realized this, the support guy told me to delete the parition which made no longer possible to restore anything to drive.   

I am not sure what to do or why it didn't work.

I have the entire chat session if anyone is interested.

Thank you for your reply.

Just to keep in mind, the computer wasn't in very bad shape.   I had gotten 2 blue screens of death a couple of day before trying to recover but i was working on networking stuff.   There were some errors, so i just wanted to pinpoint what was causing them by reverting.

>What brand computer?
I put it together myself:
q6600 4Gigs Crucial ram Asus P5K deluxe motherboard
Coolermaster Cosmos case
V1 cpu cooler

>How many HDs?
4 500 gig Hitachi Sata Hard drives

>How many partitions?
on main drive (none-is this a mistake?)   I plan to only use it for operating system and programs.

>Which partition was deleted?
only one partition

>Where do you keep your recovery points?
on a seperate harddrive

>How many BSODs did you experience?
after one recovery it happened 3 times (each pretty quickly after a restart.)


>Was there an error message when the computer wouldn't boot?
Different ones depending on the recovery point I used.

>Could you enter Safe Mode?
No

>Which OS? Vista or WinXP?
Vista ultimate

>Have you run HD diagnostics and tested the RAM?
I tested the Ram.
Checkdisc within ghost seem to indicate there were some problems.
I am reinstalling everything.   What diagnostics do you recommend I use to check if HD's are good.



>Did you restore like this?

At first no, I chose from date, which doesn't give you any options.  At some point I came across the above url and started to restore like that.
