Can't log in to Windows. Tried to partition my HD to have Ubuntu and Windows.

I'm posting on my friend's behalf. He partitioned his drive to run Ubuntu on one, and Windows on the other. Now he can only get Ubuntu to boot up. When he tries to log into Windows he gets this error:

“User profile service failed to logon. User profile could not be loaded.”

Any ideas? Sorry, I probably should have asked him for what OS versions he's using.

Thank you in advance.
