Any idea as to what this could be?  At this point I'm starting to think I'm better off starting over. :)

And look for a couple of normally hidden files.  "Finder.data and Finder.root".  They will show up under Pdos8.  Delete them both or rename them if you want to try them again later to isolate which was causing the problem.
