Mark,
Well, for some reason, the 'takedown' command is not a recognizable internal
or external command on my computer. Anyways, that is the reply that I get
when I attempt to use the command from an elevated command prompt (as system
administrator).
Also, I attempted to install the Windows AIK , I downloaded the 992mb img
file from that link, but there is no program on my PC that will allow me to
do anything
with that img file. I have Roxio Easy Media Creator and it does not
recognize it as an "image" file.
Anyway, I like that idea of yours. I think if I can get that to work I can
simply replace the files that are corrupted (or missing) and get this issue
resolved.
Of course, I will be very grateful if you have any additional information
regarding the format of the img file that I downloaded from...

Thanks again,
Dave
