sounds like you tried to install it a second time after a first falure maybe.
the only thing I can think of it to reinstall it, it does remove all the temp files after the installation completes, I am not sure where it puts these files while installing |

Go to Start > Run > and type in MSCONFIG
Go to the BOOT.ini tab. Remove the line pertaining to the installation, and make the other one default. When done, your boot.ini should look like this: [boot loader] timeout=30 default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS [operating systems] multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect |
