1. I got a new mobo, cpu and RAM.
2. Did a sysprep (OOBE, Generalized, shutdown) on old hard drive.
3. When I put the old hard drive into new hardware and booted, I got this error:
"Windows could not finish configuring the system. To attempt to resume reconfiguration, restart the computer"
4. I followed these instructions How to fix How-tos
5. When I finished the steps and restarted computer, my original account from before sysprep is not displayed on the login screen. There are 2 accounts that are displayed, one is the account I was prompted to make when doing sysprep, and the 2nd is an account that has the same name as my original but when I log into it none of my setting are kept, and none of my data is accessible, all the files are empty.
6. When I go into C:\Users, there are 4 accounts displayed. 1 is my original account, 2 is the account Im currently logged into which has the same name as the original but no files or settings, 3 is public, 4 is the account sysprep prompted me to create.
7. I booted off my SSD (different hard drive) with my old hard drive as a 2nd, and ALL data is still accessible, none of it has been corrupted.
How can I log into my original account from my old hard drive, even though it is not displayed on the login screen when I boot from it. Also why is this happening? My goal is to be able to boot from old hard drive and use my comp exactly how it was before I switched hardware.
Notes: I have an image of my old hard drive backed up on external
