If anyone could help with this situation...you rock!... the problem is on my
secondary hard drive, are locked folders and files that were left behind
from a couple previous failed attempts at installing sp1 on XP pro. I cannot
delete them... not really a big issue, but its space thats being used and
also annoying. anyone know a fix to this? Thx!

Try taking ownership of those file/folders. Look up "taking ownership"
in XP's Help & Support.
