Okay, after some time spent just ignoring the whole thing and halfheartedly messing around with some stuff, I just went ahead and restored my master post-winxp-install-updated-drivers-no-programs image. Prior to that I slaved the hard drive and just cloned the whole thing so I could restore it all on the new system.
I'm still running harddrive tests just to make sure its not a hardware thing. The Western Digital lift preserver or whatever diagnostics tool says that the hard drive is in good health.
