I am running Windows XP Service Pack 2.  System Restore is monitoring
my second drive, drive D:, but does not even present me with the
option to monitor drive C:.  Drive C: is not even listed under System
Restore.

There's a thread on a VelocityReviews forum by someone with the
same problem. The second post, by unk, suggests reinstalling
System Restore, and gives instructions for doing so:

If this resolves your problem, let me know and I'll post a
formal answer...

Yes - Thank you.  This did resolve the problem, however I had to do a
bit more than the thread suggested.  Before being able to delete
C:\System Volume Information I had to disable the System Restore
service in Control Panel\Administrative Tools\Component Services as
well as turning off system restore in Control Panel\System\System
Restore.  Please submit a formal answer!

as well as for providing very helpful clarifications as to
what worked for you for our future readers. I'll repost my
input and yours here for the sake of future readers, as well.
