win7 cannot login after create a new user.(domain or local) with error. The user profile service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded

The user profile service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded.

You can check this method provided by microsoft.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/947215


But if you find that. You create a new account (local/domain) without problem but cannot login with the error "The user profile service failed to logon. User profile cannot be loaded." Then you can try to check that on C drive.

C:/User/"User name" exist or not.

If no, then you need to check the default user folder rights is correct or not.

It must be read by everyone. If no , then new OS find you login a new user. It will copy the items in the C:/User/default user and C:/User/default. But rights is not correct then the OS can not create the new user directories and information. After that, it cannot load the profile because it had not been copied or created.

get the ownership by admin user.
add access right on the folder for everyone group can read.
restat pc and login with new user id.

It should work at least for me. ^_^

Add new/replacement harddisk in Linux Raid 1(Mirror)

Example data like this
sda is original / source harddisk
sdb is new / replacement  harddisk

md0 members are sda1 and sdb1
md1 members are sda2 and sdb2

After you have changed the hard disk /dev/sdb, boot the system.
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use a disk and it is contained some raid info, you need to erase the metadata using this command.

mdadm --zero-superblock /dev/sdb

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


sda is master/original drive
sdb new drive

after replace harddisk

boot the master harddisk. If bios have problem and cannot boot, boot rescuecd(you can download from search the web) via usb or CD.

after login and access terminal or command prompt.

copy partition table
sfdisk -d /dev/sda | sfdisk /dev/sdb

after that can verify use
fdisk -l

if ok then

add join harddisk to raid. add partition one by one
mdadm --manage /dev/md0 --add /dev/sdb1

mdadm --manage /dev/md1 --add /dev/sdb2

if md1 is big and boot up is using rescuecd, you can reboot pc using the new harddisk now due to md0 is boot partition and sync is completed. It can startup now.
After reboot, login to root and re-add md1 again using the last command.

God bless you!
