No user list on startup / welcome XP Home

Long story. Tried to ghost an existing c: to a new drive
but I guess XP already recognized the drive and gave it
letter F:. Even after the ghost copy, it referred to the
new disk (which it considers systemroot) as F: and the
old drive as C:. So I get a mish-mash, system updates go
to F: but registry entries stil point to c:.

If I try to boot up without the old drive (C:), it gets
to the welcome screen but does not show the list of users
(because it's looking on c:?)

So then I changed the drive letter of C: to G:, hoping
the registry would be changed along with it (foolish, I
know). So now, it boots, but does not show the list of
users. CNTL-ALT-DELTE does nothing.

What's next? Repair? Recovery Console? (and do what?)

Thanks, Gord
 
You have a big problem!!!! what is your C:??? try to dicconnect all hard
drivers and conect only your F:. maybe the drive letter will change!!
