Can't perform a system restore Windows 7?

I get a message saying that my C drive has an error and I must do a disk scan before I can do a system restore. So I restarted my computer and did a disk scan successfully but I still get the same prompt when I try to do a system restore. What can I try next?

    Thanks for the answers. I'll try the safe mode now.

    A system restore in the safe mode may work, but only if you have enough hard drive space for a system restore to run. Hopefully, your hard drive isn't full.

    I'm assuming you do have system backups in System Restore. Try a system restore in the Safe Mode. Windows 7 is a little bit twitchy when it comes to System Restores.

    What were the disk scan results? Any problems found?

    AFAIK, with win7, you reinstall from scratch, not restore.
