Hello all. I have a 10 year old HP Pavillion(windows xp) with a 40gb SAMSUNG SV4002H hard drive.
Recently after reboot I got an error message(s) about a corrupt profile, and then it logs me on with a temporary profile.
The 2 error messages are:
Windows cannot find the local profile and is logging you on with a
temporary profile. Changes you make to this profile will be lost when you log off.
&
Windows cannot load the locally stored profile. Possible causes of this
error include insufficient security rights or a corrupt local profile.
I'm the only user, and just have(or had) the 1 original "Owner" profile.
I have checked the Event Viewer, and it looks like whenever I reboot I get a series of several "Event ID 7" errors, and 1 "Event ID 51" error.
Event ID 7 is The device, \Device\Harddisk0\D, has a bad block.
Event ID 51 is An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\D during a paging operation.
The Event 7 error is odd because it says drive D, and I have everything on drive C. Drive D is my cd/dvd burner(which did burn out a couple of months ago).
I have been googling for info.
Some say create a different profile, and migrate everything.
Some say to do a chckdsk /f /r to try, and repair the bad blocks.
Some say that chckdsk can actually cause a distressed drive to fail, and not to use it.
I could really use some knowledgeable advice.
Thanks in advance.
