Fellow Professionals:
I have encountered this core problem a number of times.
Basically, the system boots to the system partition (C
,
and then prompts for the Ctrl-Atl-Del keystroke to login.
Ctrl-Alt-Del is pressed, and valid credentials entered.
The workstation begins to load the profile, and then
abrubtly returns to the Ctrl-Alt-Del banner. I would like
to correct the problem, as blowing away and reloading the
system is a frustration, and I have just done this
recently for the same problem.
The backstory is this. I frequently use my workstation to
connect laptop hard drives in efforts to recover data.
Usually, I can boot up my system, and pull My Docs, etc.
off of a damaged drive mounted as F:. However, for
whatever reason, my workstation will want to restart
to 'finish installing new hardware.' This is the bullet.
Sometimes I can dodge it, sometimes I can't. After I
restart, my workstation comes back up with the laptop hard
drive as the system partition (C, and my original system
partition as (F. Also, it does something with my
pagefile, and I'll typically get the message about my
pagefile is either too small, or missing, with
instructions on how to fix it.
If anyone has encountered this before and has a workable
solution, please respond. I am desperately trying to
avoid blowing my system away and reloading it, simply
because of the time and hassle involved.
Thank you!
Chris
