Most likely, either the file it is trying to overwrite is corrupt, or the source file from the CD is corrupt. Check your CD for scratches, try a different CD and/or CD Drive. If you have several files it can't copy, run a memory test because bad ram can cause this also.

I don't mind if I can't undo the restore operation, but I can even run restore. It doesn't give me an option. I'm stuck.
And when I try to load in safe mode it freezes at crcdisk.sys.

I've gotten the system restore option to open, but to no avail it doesn't go any further than that. The next and back buttons are greyed out, cancel is the only thi.ng I can click. Up top it says "No restore points have been created on your computer's system disk. to crate a rstore point open System Protection.

And "system protection" is highlighted as a link. When I click it it says " Your computer is running in a limited diagnostic state. If you use System Restore in this limited state, you cannot undo the restore operation. Help topics are not available in this state.

I don't mind if I can't undo the restore operation, but I can even run restore. It doesn't give me an option. I'm stuck.
And when I try to load in safe mode it freezes at crcdisk.sys.

What if Safe Mode just acts as normal windows starting? The screen with the "Configuring Updates 3-of-3 0%" message keeps coming up in any mode - safe, netwrking, command prompt, or start windows normally ALL bring me back to that screen, with no command prompt ever seen.

This is what leads to the box popping up saying that "The System Restore wizard is already running. This program will now exit." And an "OK" box only.

What now?

i noticed many users have said they cannot run the command rstrui.exe they get an invalid command error message, if you are attempting to use this command you must use the full path: c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

otherwise windows will not know what you are talking about.

There is the other issue that the rtrui.exe command may need to be run in "elevated" mode I.E. as an administrator account in which case:

runas /user:localmachinename\administrator cmd

runas /user:localmachinename\administrator c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe

When I type "%systemroot%\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" or "c:\windows\system32\restore\rstrui.exe" a message box pops up saying "System Restore is not able to protect your computer. Please restart your computer, then run System Restore again." Also when I try to run just the "rstrui.exe" it says in CMD "rstrui.exe is not recognized as an internal or external command." The thing is, I've already restarted my pc like 5 times, I'm running it in safe mode, I'm so upset about this. I don't want to format my pc cause I'll lose files that I don't want to lose. What can I do?
