1. Make sure the cab files are on your hdd
2. Boot to Safe Mode (very important)
3. Go into Device Manager
4. Remove all cdroms
5. Remove all the IDE controller stuff that Windows will allow you to remove
6. Reboot normal and let Win find what is there

Try the above first but if all else fails delete the "Enum" key from hkey_local_machine before you resort to wiping the drive and reinstalling...
