Yep, found that on a different site last night. Took some time, but I figured out that the CD would copy files if I told it to do the repair from the CD itself. So I went into the recovery console, copied the file to both places (exactly as you have, incidentally), and then removed the CD, allowing the resumed setup to instead ask for the CD. By doing this, no files were copied over, so the new msdart was written over.
My problem now, however, is that the activate windows box will not come up. I get the prompt as windows is starting up to do the activation (or I can't log in), and I of course click yes. Well, it starts up--hourglass spinning and everything--and then...nothing. Just the standard windows xp grassy knoll background. I am at a lost for what to do now. The repair completed without any problems once I did the copy of the dll. There are no errors showing, no blue screens, no freezes. It just does nothing.
I'd like to thank you for your help, cyrnel, and I hope you can help me clear this last hurdle.
