Perhaps you forgot to qualify the Administrator account you created with the

The System cannot log you on due to the following error:
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted.
Please try again or consult your system administrator

After some research I found a way to get into the user accounts during the
actual installation, so I ran the install again, created new user accounts,
one with administrator rights, and then assigned new passwords..All went
well, the system rebooted, I clicked on the administrator account when it
asked for that, was almost in and bam..the error above came up and I still
can't get in. So I don't think the problem is a password issue.....Searching
using that error message returns posts about the same problem after a clean
xp install on windows media, but no solutions were forthcoming...So, thank
you for reading and I'm open to any ideas anyone may have...
