Not an ISO, this is a purchased install disc. I had done a pin reset of the CMOS last night.
I'll be going through all the diagnostics listed here by the great help I have been offered and running them, no matter how flawless this install seems to go for me. I just NEED to know what the original error was.
EDIT: Bugger! My install key isn't working. Double checked that it is typed in properly, but saying that the key isn't valid. Pretty sure this is the 3rd time I have installed from this disk (original drive twice, now this one), so even if it was somehow getting online already (LAN is connected) I should still be able to use this key...
EDIT2: A search on the net shows that the issue is that this is an upgrade version. I know I saw a walkthrough on here for installing clean from an upgrade CD, so that should tell me what to do at this step. Maybe I can use my old XP code and then this one? Anyway, off to find that walkthrough.
