XP install problem

XP install problem

I've got an XP install that has gone bad . . BLUE SCREEN . . @ 34minutes remaining.

Error Message: BAD_POOL_CALLER
Tech Info: *** STOP: 0x000000C2, 0X00000007, 0X00000CD4, 0X00340045

I can't cancel the install, and every reboot (even under ALL choices of SAFE MODE) it wants to continue the install!

B!tch is, the machine was fine. All I wanted to do was test a newly burned XP install CD so I could give it to the owner in case a program required the presence of the XP Setup CD!

Now what I want/need to know is, if I remove the Hard drive from the locked up machine and install it as a secondary drive on my test machine can I alter files(ini, boot, sys, bat) to cancel the XP install?

What files do I need to delete or modify so this machine stops wanting to continue a flawed install? (I believe the CD had physical damage before burning which caused the flawed/failed install)

Al I want to do is go back to the XP OS I had before testing this newly burned CD out!

Restore under safe mode does NOT work, nor ANY of the other choices. It ALWAYS wants to continue the XP install to the point of blue screen!
