[QUOTE="sbattisti, post: 126129, member: 32340"] OK, so, I'm back again with a karmic update. I booted from the Windows 7 DVD. After the BIOS, a screen appeared and recommended that I run Startup Repair. I'd tried this earlier, and let it run for an hour, and killed it out of impatience. This time, it took about 1 minute, and rebooted the machine. I rebooted from the DVD, logged into Windows, and everything worked! So, I changed my BIOS settings to boot from the SSD again, and took out the DVD, and everything is working. I'm pleased that it's working, but I kinda wish I knew more about WHY it was working. I find myself somewhat unconvinced. :) But, happier than I was an hour ago. Curiouser and curiouser. [/QUOTE]
