userinit.exe

[aude sapere]

I hope someone can help me.

I installed Windows XP Home Edition last night and the installation seemed
to go smoothly. However, whenever I boot, I get the following message:

uerinit.exe - No Disk There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk
into drive\Device\Harddisk1\Dr1

I don't have a clue what to do. I have reinstalled XP and get the same
message. When I click on "Cancel" a couple of times, the message goes and
Windows boots.

I have also lost my access to Outlook 2002. I uninstalled and reinstalled
Office Professional 4 times but no luck. I can't access my saved information
for Outlook.

I cannot reinstall Norton Internet Security 2004.

I have been trying to figure things out and am at a loss.

I can't even reinstall Windows ME.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
