Hi,
Boy, I hope there is an easy solution to my problem.
I am running XP Pro on my home PC and I ran the sysprep tool (with no
parametes specified) in preparation for cloning the boot drive to a larger
one. After the cloning was complete I rebooted using my original drive and
ran through the mini-setup with no problems. I got to the logon screen and
saw my original 4 accounts. But when I clicked on my account "chuck" and
entered my password, the system did not log me into my old account.
Instead it created a new account chuck.werner (where Werner is the name of
my computer). It did this for all the old accounts. Also, when logged into
the newly created "chuck.werner" account I was denied access to my old
"chuck" folders (which is of course where all my important data is)
Does anyone know what's going on here and hopefully know how to fix it?
Thanks
-Chuck
