I have recently installed BG2 back on to my new hard drive (replacing another hard drive (not the one that windows is installed on)). The old hard drive was partitioned but the new one isn't. When i came to install bg2 first i had to unistall, this was unusual as bg2 was on the hard drive that has now been removed (i couldn't uninstall from the old hard drive as it had died). Never the less it unistalled and i then re-intalled without a problem. However, i then tried to install tob only to find that it needed unistalling also. Upon trying to uninstall tob i recieved an error message saying that it couldn't access a file that was located in an old hard drive (now removed), the drive (E) is now my cd re-writer. Access was denied less than 1% into the uninstall process. The file in question was: BGII\data\25SpelAn.bif. This file doesn't appear to be part of the original bg2 game. It can have come from the following programmes (i hope) tob, official tob patch, dungeon be gone mod or expanded thief stronghold mod. I know this as i found the folder on another pc with the preceding items installed on it.

As things stand, i can play SoA on one pc and soa & tob on another, so if i cannot resolve the problem then i a will just install to soa patch on my pc. However, i would like to be able to play tob on my pc as well and was wondering if there is a solution. Does anyone know exactly where the file came from? I realise the problem is my fault and am not blaming others in the process. Any help is as always most welcome!
