    • How many user account do you have on your system?

    Meanwhile, let’s try simple troubleshooting steps and check if this helps. I suggest you to remove the username from Credential Manager and check.

    XP Boot HDD taken from Failed MB - Get Files?

    Just as I suspected... :shadedshu Can't access the Document and Settings for some users on HDD unless I've booted from it and logged in as the user - in this case myself...

    Next step boot the old HDD on a different computer in safe mode, with fingers crossed.

    Logging in on the wrong user on boot up

    Current active users that are friends

    The other reason I suggested this is that users can add characters to their username that are not alphanumeric (e.g. user*). This confuses things somewhat when looking at the list.
