Problems with user profile after ghosting hard drive

[shimojunk]

Hi,

I just ghosted USER-A machine using Ghost 7.0 to a bigger hard drive
which he requires, no errors occured. However, when USER-A logs into
the ghosted drive of windows XP, a new profile is created called
USER-A.ABCCORP and he cannot log onto the cached profile of USER-A that
he was previously using. I tested out my account and the same
thing happens. I cannot log on with my cached profile MYUSERNAME,
windows autommatically creates a MYUSERNAME.ABCCORP and therefore have
to reconfigure everything. This happens even if I don't have a network
connection to the domain controller.
Anybody have any ideas what's going on?

Thanks

The SID has changed.

When you Ghosted the PC somehow there is a problem matching the User's old account with SID
with the Ghosted platform.

Now that USER-A has logged on, delete the directory...
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-A.ABCCORP

Rename the directory
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-A
to
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-A.OLD

Have USER-A re-logon then logoff. Logon as the Administrator then copy ...
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-A.OLD\*.*
to
C:\Documents and Settings\USER-A\
