First off, the Forum Posting Instructions have dead links so sorry if I'm posting wrong.
#2 the "main" issue I'm having right now is with my router apparently not providing DHCP to my PC all of sudden (just my Windows 7 installation) and Windows diagnostics isn't helping me.
#3 the installation I am currently working with was recovered from a dying hard drive that was over 10 years old and so has LOTS of little issues here built up here and there. I am avoiding a repair install at this time because I know it counts as an upgrade and therefore disables sysprep, not to mention you aren't...
