I meant the bittorent iso image I downloaded and used to install the vm initially. I haven't kept up with windows, but it looked like ms was trying to get away from iso's completely... I have no idea where the bittorent iso came from... but it works. The only problem is in downloading all the grillions of patches that have been applied since the image was made. That works fine, but is hands-on and takes forever. > Speaking of 'reinstalling' you now have a working VM correct?
