I am using a laptop that has a second hard drive for storing my user profiles. And yes, I used this trick we shared a while ago to have the user profiles stored on the second hard drive instead of on the default system drive where Windows 7 was installed.

It works great till my second drive went offline the other day. Later on, once you have the original second drive that has all your user profiles stored back, you can still log in using your original user account. However, if you are still getting the Profile cannot be loaded message, that is because you previously tried to log in using the same account while the user profile drive was missing, then.

And hope that would help you as well if you are encountering the same issue. I hope this is enough information, I'll provide more if necessary.

It stopped working yesterday when I left for class, and was working fine right up until then. I am clueless as to what could have caused this, any help would be appreciated.
