Since the DVD that we primarily use for distribution prevents the repair screen from displaying, one option would be to create a new disc that doesn't have the Autounattend.xml file present. To do this, save an ISO image of your DVD and open that image with an ISO image editing utility such as UltraISO, or Magic ISO, or any number of others. Delete the Autounattend.xml from the ISO file and save it. Burn the edited ISO to a blank DVD and use that disc for the rare occasions that might be helped by the Repair options.
