XP Home SP2
System restore has disappeared from system tools. My CD Rom drive is not working, is there another way to get it back other than installing from the windows\inf file? When I try to do it that way, I am requested to insert my XP disc. Can't do it beacuse the drive is not working. I also tried the c prompt command:%systemroot%\system32\restui.exe but the command is not recognized. Any help appreciated. Also, I have run a complete virus scan and adware scan..nothing found.
