I don't think I can install it, but I can run it from the CD. Is that good enough?
Yes, that should work too.
Please try this:
1. Insert Windows Install disc to boot from CD.
2. Press any key on the keyboard when prompted.
3. Press R to load the Recovery Console.
4. Enter your password when prompted.
5. You must enter which Windows installation to log onto. Type 1 and press enter.
6. At the C:\Windows prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
cd erdnt\subs
7. At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
batch erdnt.con
8. The erunt backups will begin copying.
9. At the next prompt, type the following bolded text, and press Enter:
exit
Windows will now begin loading.

I was never prompted for my password, and when I try to run "batch erdnt.con" I get "Access Denied".
In that case situation doesn't look good.
Out of curiosity, is SP3 final version (according to HijackThis log it looks RC2 to me which can explain problems) and did combofix suggest to install recovery console when you ran it?

I'm pretty sure I had the final version of SP3, though I'm not completely 100% sure. Also, ComboFix did NOT suggest that I install recovery console. I found this strange considering the report it produced said I didn't have it installed.
Keep in mind I do have Kubuntu installed, so if needed I can manually replace files.
Yes, according to your HijackThis log SP3 is Release Candidate 2 which might explain why ComboFix didn't suggest to install RC.
Please attempt to boot from CD next.

Ok so I tried a system recovery using a SP2 cd and now I'm back to where I was with the first BSOD STOP. Same error. Maybe if I use an SP3 cd lol.
