ntuser file deleted

hi this is really urgent...i deleted my ntuser registry files by mistake and now my profile does not load..a temporary file is loaded saying that changes made to this will not be saved..please help..
i have tried the following and they did not work:
system restore(wid vista repair cd)
changed state value in HK Local registry....
tried making a new account and tht too didnt load


i am sure there is a solution to this rather than windows reinstall...that is not an option for me because i have linux also on my lappy and reinstalling windows will remove tht too which i cant afford to do

please help ppl..

If you've deleted registry files there are limited choices to repair it.
As you've found out, a backup is essential in case these things happen.

If you can't use System Restore and there are not backup copies of the registry to work with - then you're left with trying a repair install of Vista. http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html

FWIW - properly reinstalling Vista will not delete your Linux. Also, you can get Linux distro's for free - so cost isn't a factor. You can use Live Linux distro's to backup your data. The biggest problem would be reinstalling things so that the Linux boot manager is working properly - and that's easily fixed by the Linux guru's.
