I guess I'm stumped.

I installed the Recovery Console, and after battling with "hal.dll missing or corrupted" errors, (it wasn't), finally ran fixboot, nothing changed. I did notice that I didn't have a "boot.ini" on C, just "boot_sav", so I copied boot_sav and renamed it boot.ini, no change. Boot.ini has Windows on partition 1, which seems right since there is only one partition.

On boot I'm still getting drives 0,1,2,3 not found. I updated the BIOS, no help there.
