Turns out the problem was likely hardware related. Over the
weekend, I had noticed that SBM wasn't detecting the DVD/CD player
all the time. Yesterday, the hard drive was undetectable. Given that both units
function on other machines, I believe that the computer's drive
controller was slowly dying while I was working with it and ultimately
gave up the ghost Monday.

Thanks again to everyone who helped me with this.
