Update No. 2:

I've tried deleting the DDO off the hard drive, and resetting the MBR. While this seems to have fixed the DDO error problem, it brings up another. Now, whenever I try to finish installing Windows, the system sits at either the "please press any key to boot from cd...." or a blank screen with a blinking cursor.

After the DDO/MBR wipe, I let it boot to the hard drive, and it gave me a "NTLDR is missing" error. I'm assuming it's caused by not having an OS on the drive, but with my luck, it's not.

I've tried the Boot n Nuke, put the iso on a cd, but it doesn't seem to want to work. It sounds like the system is trying to run it, but it just sits at the blank screen with the cursor. I'll try to find a floppy disk to stick the program on, and see if that works, but I get the feeling this isn't the problem anymore.
