Hello Jamie,
What error message is in the Windows Update log? Can you just past a
couple of lines above and below the error message line and of course the
error message line?
Under d:\users do you have a default folder and in that folder do you have
a ntuser.dat file?
d:\users\default\ntuser.dat
Thanks,
Darrell Gorter[MSFT]
