Solved Windows 8 User account issues

[oniliva]

I built a new PC to be used primarily for gaming purposes, so I installed Windows 8 Pro onto 128GB SSD. I wanted to move my User profile to my HDD, and followed the directions posted here: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/4275-user-profiles-relocate-another-partition-disk.html

after doing this and exiting Audit mode, Windows acted as if I had were installing the OS and wanted a product key. I skipped this step, went through the configuration, but when I used my email for my Windows account, it says that a user is already using that account on my PC. Obviously, because I had been using my computer earlier today. So since it knows there is a user with that account, why can't I access it when I start my computer? A friend of mine says I may have installed Windows twice on accident, but he isn't sure. Help would be much appreciated.

Did you only move the Users folder?

I followed the directions there. But I actually just solved the problem myself! All good.

I was just an idiot and didn't read the end of the guide when it says you need to create a local user file in the second set up then simply log out and back in using the Live account.
