Did you contact the computer manufacturer that provided the upgrade kit?

I'm thinking that getting an windows 7 disc is a good idea. I wouldn't pay anything for it or anything I would look to borrowing from a friend or download it from somewhere. Just make sure you use the installation code that came with your upgrade kit.

Sometimes installation discs come with all the version of the windows installer and which one it installs depends on the installation code you enter. What you could try is to bypass the part where you enter you installation code. That should take you to a screen where it asks you which version to install. Select the version you have a code for and install. You'll have to activate windows later with the installation key after it's operational. This may not work with windows 7, it's something I experienced with a Vista upgrade disk.

The only other option is to try to bypass or logon to your computer.
Is it a logon to windows logon or is it a network type logon? It sounds like it's a network logon based on the specified domain error. What options do you have on this logon screen? If you have the option to logon to the workstation only make sure you select it.

That's all the ideas I have.
