I do have a 2nd PC, and I'm wondering if I remove my HDD and convert it into an external drive readable on the 2nd PC via USB if I can remove CTM from that HDD and avoid having to reformat and reinstall the years of applications on the drive.  Any thoughts on this?
Which version did you install?
Without CTM running, with version 2.8 you can only get the baseline (before installing).
When version 2.9 you can only get the latest snapshot (current state).

"Dell", in ur case I think there are only two things left for U to do :

1/ Try restoring MBR with ur Windows set-up disc (which if U could do successfully is the same as uninstalling CTM). That means putting ur Windows installlation set-up disc on ur DVD drive n choosing it as ur Only option in boot-up setting in Bios (disable HDD boot-up option), then try restoring MBR from Windows installation disc.

2/ U may take out ur HDD from the troubled machine n connect it to ur other bootable machine as a slave drive, when U get into Windows U copy all important data/files n back them up on another HDD. (Then U may put the unbootable HDD back n do a fresh Windows installation.)

Did U try uninstalling CTM at boot-up sub-console ?  (press 'Home' at boot-up right after Bios check-up) I think uninstalling CTM works better on boot-up sub-console !

The boot-up console didn't give me the option to uninstall CTM.  I was unable to restore the MBR due to the fact that I've got the unfinished install, so I've got to go with option 2. The Dell came with restore disks rather than a MS Windows XP CD, so I'm hoping I can essentially start from scratch once I've xferred the files.

Thanks, James321888.
