Ok . . . Try this:
Download Inherit.exe and put it on the Desktop. Now, drag the MBA-M installer into inherit.exe and wait for a message that pops up and says “OK” - Then try to run it again.

If that fails, try to resolve this via the steps in the linky below and let me know how you fare:

I'll be back Wednesday night.

Is there anyway I can save the pictures that are on my computer to my external HD? If I can do that then we can finish this the easy way by just completely redoing the computer. The pictures is all she really cares about.

Yeah - I think we can wrangle that.

I am waaay over-extended at the moment, so I may not be able to reply in a timely manner + I need to read over this thread to get back up to date on what is going on.

In the meantime, please create Hiren's Boot CD
All you need is a working computer - The data and the tools to create it are all in the ZIP.
Personally, I just use imgburn to burn the ISO.

Let me know when you have that and we'll go from there.

Will try to post back as soon as I can - have a bunch of other threads to get to as well...

OK - what's the plan?
Format / Reinstall Windows? Or do you want to try to clean this sucker?
