PROBLEM:
I have found that very often when I reinstall an image file of a system
back on to a pc when I attempt to logon as administrator or another user I
can enter my details and it goes off saying "loading personal settings" as
it should then it just goes back to the logon screen. This cycle continues
until I select shutdown and I cant get in to the desktop. Can anyone please
help?
POSSIBLE SOLUTION:
I had the same problem using Drive Image 7 on a Windows 2000 box. Every time
I reinstalled an image from within another W2k installation the restored
windows cycled through the logon message. First attempt: using PQRE
(Recovery Environment on bootable Drive Image 7 - CD) This works, but
booting the CD takes about 10 min.
Idea! Perhaps W2k must be prohibited to access the partition during rebuilt.
Second attempt: deleting drive letter of the specific drive. The partition
still resides on my hard drive, but no normal process can gain access to it.
Heureka. The rebuilt system starts and the logi process works fine.
Btw. recreating the pagefile as suggested often did not work on my box.
Hope, this will help someone.
