I have no "Repair" option on my CD either.  It appears that my problem is
related to Windows and my new drivers.  The CD furnished with my new motherboard
has a "VIADSK.MPD" driver which windows seems to not recognize or something like
that.  When I startup my computer and chose "Bootlog" option after the "F8"
trick that file shows something like this:
[0017BD39]Initing VIADSK.mpd
[0017BD3C]Init Failure VIADSK.MPD
[0017BD3C]Initing VIADSK.mpd
[0017B3DD]Init Failure VIADSK.MPD
I think all this means Windows and my drivers don't like each other.
