Restore - unable to restore

I installed software to HP scanner using my CD/DVD drive.
When I rebooted Vista Windows does not detect my CD/DVD drive.
I tried to restore to earlier date and I get an error message
"There was an unexpected error:

Filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (0x8007007B)
Systm Restore will now close.

Help

This is additional information. I am running Windows Vista Ultimate.

System Restore fails with the following error:

There was an unexpected error. The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is
incorrect (0x8007007B). System Restore will now close.

This error is caused by faulty imaging by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) that
results in the presence of an invalid volume. To see if this is the problem, go to System in
Control Panel and open System Protection. There will be two volumes shown, one of which is
selected and named “Missing.” Selecting C:\ and deselecting “Missing” solves the problem.

If Michaels suggestion doesn't solve it, can you go into your
Windows\System32 file and run rstrui.exe or execute from a run command.
Run as administrator.
