I checked the userinit.exe in the autoruns start up applications and I
can't log on to any user account. I have no boot discs for the computer. I
also can't directly slave the problem drive to my working pc because they
have different connection types.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

What are the different types of connections (IDE, SCSI, SATA) There are adapters that are pretty cheap to buy...

You can also download a boot disk that would be a little over 125MB (System Rescue Linux). That does not take that long depending on your connection.Also you windows XP cd is a "boot disk" per say. Or give BartPE a try.

Are you trying to say that the userinit.exe is malware instead of the legitimate windows process? Have you tried safe mode?

I bought an enclosure for the bad drive and fixed the
problem registry with some help from sysinternals forum.

Thanks and Happy New Year!
