    system restore Windows 10 pro

    2 x hard drives on the sytem.
    System Restore box is showing:

    NewAug (E)
    Local Disk (C) (System)
    (blank folder) (C:) (Missing)

    What is the 'C Missing' refereing to? Is it an error?

    It's probably referring to an older copy of Windows (Win10 updates by
    creating a new Windows folder, then swapping and renaming during bootup)
    that has somehow got itself stuck in whatever config files Restore looks
    at to hunt up its list of possible restore-to locations. So a mild
    error, but just ignore that line.

    You might take a look in c:\boot.ini and see if there's any extra
    line(s) that are clearly wrong in it, but messing with Windows' boot
    files is always a bit fraught. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/devtest/overview-of-the-boot-ini-file
