I'm having problem with my profiles getting corrupt on a relatively new build that's running Win 2K Pro. Here's my story. I'm an experienced computer person. I've been a programmer and a web designer over the years. I've updated pcs, removed/installed software, added/removed hardware, etc. I build my 1st computer a few months ago. It's components are in my signature. I'm new to building PCs but I'm an experienced computer person.
The other day I was doing some updating on my PC. I wasn't paying attention and I accidently tripped on my power cord and unplugged the machine. When it booted up I got an error message saying my profile was corrupt. I was logged on to the Admin profile. Eventually I couldn't boot up with the profile. I wanted to change some configs on my PC so I ended up blowing it out and reinstalling everything because it was now a convenient time to do it. I was just about finished installing the last bit of software when the power cord fell out, just by complete coincidence. Both times the machine was running fine before the power stopage.
I'm getting a little ticked off at the profile corruptions. I've never had a PC corrupt the user profiles just because of an accidental power down. At work my building loses power on occasion so my machine goes down but my profiles don't get corrupted. Sometimes I lose power in my house when my circuit breaker trips because I have too many things running. I'm a high end user runnning a lot of graphics software. Occasionally my machine crashes from heavy use. Unexpected power downs are going to happen once in a while. I don't have to time to keep restoring/rebuilding profiles everytime my machine has a rude power down.
How can I prevent these profile corruptions?? Any suggestions or tips?? Thanks for the help. I'm currently running the 1 SATA HD in a non-raid config.
p.s. I already know about trying to stop tripping over the power cord.
