UPDATE:

I deleted all the entries in the registry as you suggested for the
primary and all the logical partitions. No change.

When I use Disk Manager to delete a logical partition, it hangs up for
a while then tells me there is information on the partition that is
being used or is critical or something like that. Even though the
partition in question is totally empty except for "system volume
information" and "Recycler" and even though I have never used it for
anything except spare storage, I get this message. Another window
popped up and offered to force delete the logical drive. I accepted
then proceeded to delete every logical drive and even the extended
partition itself. I then used windows startup disk to delete the
primary partition then used a separate True Image disk to restore an
older image of the primary drive.

I've also used to the windows disk to run "fixmbr" from recovery
console. However, the problem still exists.
