XP won’t log in
LockedI have a desktop running Windows XP Pro service pack 2.
It has a 40gig HD which is getting full.
I installed an 80gig (formatted as NTFS) as a slave, and ran Seagate Disk Manager to transfer all data from the 40 to the 80.When I thought it had completed (thought is the operative word here) I removed the 40, set the 80 as master and rebooted.
When trying to boot from the 80 it said that there was no operating system on the disk.
Okay I will go back to the 40 to start again.
Set up the 40 as master, no slave. Rebooted, and it started fine up to where you click on the user. There is only one user (me) so I clicked on me.Windows reported Logging on and imediately Logging off.
Tried again – Logging on – logging off, back to the logon screen.
I can’t get past it.
Tried in safe mode to no avail. Remembered the Administrators password, tried that to no avail.
I am now stuck cant log in but it is obviously all there.
Can anyone help me.
Thanks in anticipation.
