I recently tried to use this walkthrough guide How to Move your Windows User Profile to another Drive. Only after realizing that this would not work did I find that that my system restore point was not set correctly.

I am now getting this profile message when I try to login my main profile: the user profile service failed to login.

I have tried the suggestions from KB 947215 Without any luck short of creating a new profile again. (I recently had to wipe my computer due to a virus).

Does anyone have any new information that might be helpful?

I'm assuming you are using windows 7, and are you saying that you are unable to get in at all though any user account? What is the question exactly? – Peter Maxwell Jul 5 '12 at 6:19

Given the length of the guide, you probably have done something wrong.

I have done such things in the past and it worked; so, it seems you have broken something.

There is no other solution than to start over with a new user profile...
