Let me guess... you saved your restore information on your hard drive...?
Then you had it "swiped clean"?
And where do you suppose your restore information went, in the process...?
"Restore" is not the same as "backup", or "recovery"...
Restore points are "snapshots" of the system, at a given point... allowing you to roll back, if a change goes horribly wrong. They don't magically store all the information elsewhere.
I'm afraid you're right back to the day you got it out of the box..
That's why you put backups on removable media... you do take backups, yes?

Go to System Properties, thru Start\All Programs\Accessories\System Tools\System Restore\System Restore Settings, and check if your hard drives are being monitored. First look for the box that says available drives and see if your drive(s) are monitored. If not make sure the "Turn off System Restore on all Drive" box is not checked.Then try to do a Restore to an earlier time.If you have no high lighted bold dates or have changed your hard drive recently, then a system restore is not possible.Your system can not restore if a hard drive is new or been swamped with another.
