Location unavailable error!

Hi

i did a fresh install of VIsta ultimate 64 yesterday i when i received
the computer there were no partitions set up, i was wanting to use
bitlocker and i was having a few issues with the profile that was
orignally set up so i decided to reinstall. After reinstalling Vista
ultimate and updating all the drivers and loading my programs i switched
the computer on this morning to find a black screen with the following
error message

c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\desktop refers to a location
that is
unavailable. it could be on a hard drive on this computer.or on a
network.
check to make sure that the disk is properly inserted, or that you are
connected to the internet or your network and then try again. if it
still
cannot be located the information might have been moved to a different
location.

I followed the path to the systemprofile\desktop location and sure
enough there was no desktop folder there.

I then went to C:\Users\me and copied the desktop file and pasted it in
the location where it was missing. i got a message saying the file is
already in that location even though it wasnt showing and do i want to
replace the file or keep both. I chose keep both.

This seems to have fixed the problem but i have no idea why it
happended in the first place!

is there a problem with how i have installed vista on my machine? has
anyone any idea?
