I am running Win 2000 server. I have one workstation running Win 2000 Pro and everytime they reboot. The workstation thinks they are a new user and creates a new user profile for them. (i.e. "username001, username002, username003) Any help would be appreciated.
 
I have seen this a few times. You have a corrupted OS. You will need to make sure you perform a low level format of the drive and reinstall OS and all applications. This is caused usually by a bad sector on the hard drive. You can only fix it by doing a low level format which will flag all bad sectors and will not save data to them, however remember if you are experiencing bad sectors you might want to install a new hard drive for the new load.
