I have been using the same source that worked with just the update pack installed. I just build another one with a handful of addons that got farther along than before. Then i let it reboot and it ran chkdsk in the VM, 100s of errors in chkdsk, and rebooted again and is getting further along. But something is still really off obviously. I used these addons in addition to the update pack.
