Attempting to Get This Repaired
So I've been working at this for about a week now, and you can read a summary of what's been going on here on CNet.
My installation DVD was at my sister's house for a while, so she had to send it by mail, and I just got it today. The guy in the CNet thread told me that there are other repair methods when you boot from the DVD, but I've been unable to find any. I've been considering a repair install, but the moment I hit the "Install Now" button, it says that "A required CD/DVD drive device driver is missing. If you have a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive, please insert it now." Given that I'm booting from the DVD, I don't see how it could possibly not recognize it.
