Thanks in advance for any and all advice.
Pretty off topic but go build a PE disk, that is your best bet
You'll need your original OS media.

Thanks Nate!
Unfortunately, this is no longer an option as these days when you buy a Windows PC you do not get any installation media, merely a recovery CD/DVD. Yes, you are reading this right - you are paying money for the OS but you ain't getting no disks with it!
NO, you were *never* paying for the OS! When you 'pay' for MS-Windows you are paying for the right to USE a COPY of it. You do not *OWN* anything. Microsoft *does not sell* the O/S, only licenses to use it. MS is just getting 'smart' -- by not shipping a installation disk with OEM copies they are just preventing pirating. Read the EULA.
And as the case happens to be with this particular machine I don't even have that "recovery" disk.
