This is one of the toughest ones, like bringing back the dead.
Try running [DVD drive]:\Setup
slmgr commands reference: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/0...ey-activation/
From here I would boot DVD and try Startup Repair a few more times, System Restore and the Command Line in DVD to see if you have any more luck.
Then I would wait for others' ideas including SIW2 who knows this stuff inside-out and should get my PM by morning to look at this.
