You should not need to CD if you followed the instructions as I said. They
are "system" files, already on the hard drive, unless you've somehow mangled
the setup. Otherwise, feed it your CD.

Make sure you're (1) removing any check marks in the area of Control Panel,
then restart the system after OKing your way out, then (2) replace the check
marks, again OK out, and again restart the system.
