You don't have an original installation; There are changes to files, or some are missing.
However, these may be conscious changes you have made, to remod EB. See below for details.

Oh man, you installed RTW and EB into your Documents and Settings folder? Why would you do that? You should install RTW and EB in an own directory. You've got some work to do to separate the files that you want to stay in Documents and Settings from the RTW/EB ones which should be moved.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Take his advice, I mean it: too much data in MyDocuments, Desktop, MyPictures and similar locations may cause Windows to fail at booting up (properly). EB 1.1 + EB 1.2 + RTW 1.5 adds *a lot* of data, ~ 4,5-5GB.
