Users Trashed

Help!

I turned my mac on this morning and it took aobut 10 mins to load all the way up ... when it did finally load it it dropped me at the user login script ... Thought that this was a bit wierd as I had set it to auto login for my user ... so I typed in my username + password and got the beachball of death ... so had to do a hard reboot (finger on the power button for 5 secs) booted back up (which took ages again) then tried to log in as root ... that just did the shaking screen thing that lets you know you got the wrong password/username ... no problem I started up using the Tiger install disk and went to reset the password ... but there where NO users to reset the password for :S ... I then did another 'upgrade' (for some reason I can't seem to find the archive/install, erase/install menu) and the exact same thing happened again :S

Please Please Please help me neye:

You'll find the option to do an erase an install using a Options button on the bottom of the screen before you get to the one where you choose which disk you want to use.
