What is the status of your PC right now? Do you have two installations of
XP on your harddrive? Did you stop it in the middle of installation #2?
Two installations of XP?

Well, as far as I know - the current Xp should still be on with this new
installation trying to overwrite it. Somehow I need to bypass this
installation in order to restore the PC to it's old setup (which had a
Bios-error) or even just spare us all the trouble and get all the important
info of the drive and just format and reinstall.
