I'm not sure if this is a "good" thing to recommend -- but you could just use 
the TomeViewer under your existing installation to extract the ROM file from 
the installer CD's tome and add it to your existing System Folder.  I had 
success with this approach from my install media.  You might want to make 
sure the ROM file that you extract comes from the same version that you are 
running.  I don't know if that is a requirement though.
