Automatic Logoff Issues

[Brian]

Help!

Using Norton Ghost, I copied the contents of one drive to my new, larger
one. The new copy drive boots but as I said, I log in, and it will say
"LOADING PERSONAL SETTINGS", then "SAVING YOUR SETTINGS" and
goes back to login prompt. It only does this on the new drive. The old one
still works just fine.

Suggestions? I can't get to the desktop at all, even via Safe Mode.

It may be that the OS is trying to use old HDD drivers - unlikely but an
option that you can consider. What you can try is a repair installation:
