User profile problem

Working on a Gateway laptop that had "The user profile service failed to login". after trying several things I ended up deleting the profile which was the administrator account. I created a new user account but I can't view the original user account files. I would like to access the pictures to backup and then do a clean install "if i can find a vista home premium" CD.
Any help would be appreciated. :confused:

I have pulled the hard drive and put it in a docking station but I still can't access the pictures in the deleted admin. account.

Hello bigal55,

What user profiles are displayed under C:\Users?

If the old user profile was deleted, the information stored on it was likely deleted as well.

Try performing a System Restore to bring your computer back to a state before you deleted the user profile.

System Restore
  • Press and hold the Windows key + R on your keyboard.
  • In the Run box, type rstrui.exe and hit Enter.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to restore your computer to a date before the issue(s) started.
