Location unavailable error!

Hi

i did a fresh install of VIsta ultimate 64 yesterday i when i received

the computer there were no partitions set up, i was wanting to use

bitlocker and i was having a few issues with the profile that was

orignally set up so i decided to reinstall. After reinstalling Vista

ultimate and updating all the drivers and loading my programs i switched

the computer on this morning to find a black screen with the following

error message

c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop refers to a location

that is

unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer.or on a

network.

check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are

connected to the internet or your network and then try again. if it

still

cannot be located the information might have been moved to a different

location.

I followed the path to the systemprofile\desktop location and sure

enough there was no desktop folder there.

I then went to C:\Users\me and copied the desktop file and pasted it in

the location where it was missing. i got a message saying the file is

already in that location even though it wasnt showing and do i want to

replace the file or keep both. I chose keep both.

This seems to have fixed the problem but i have no idea why it

happended in the first place!

is there a problem with how i have installed vista on my machine? has

anyone any idea?
