More nightmare info... I reopened the case and the CD drive faceplate was inside, and it's position was keeping the drawer from opening. Bizarre. But it gets weirder. I put a 64 bit Windows 7 DVD in the tray, booted, got the msg about pressing any key, but pressing any key brought me to the screen that wants me to choose an operating system to start. I don't ever recall that before. But the only option is Windows Setup [EMS Enabled]. I hit <Enter>, got the Loading Files (but it took much longer to complete - about 4 minutes), but now am back ay the Starting Windows screen and it's frozen. Again. But is that Windows Setup OS normal? Shouldn't it have read Windows 7 Home Premium?
