when i first got bg2 i tried doing the basic install on my old computer that only had about 1 gig of free space on it. it asked for disk 5 just like with you and i spent an entire night searching the box/my room/under my desk for disk 5. i correctly assumed later that this was a bug and attributed it to a lack of space problem. so...
might be a problem with the partitions. i run three hard drives daisy-chained with games on a 20 gb one (secondary drive, not the startup/windows one) and it installed normally on that.
lastly, i remember there being a problem with the uninstaller. don't recall the details but i do know i had to go into my registry and manually remove all the bg2 stuff. let me know if you need help with this if you try it.

regarding the getting-to-the-bridge-district problem... are you playing a cheat-free game? many times if an item or spell or script is hax0red it will occassionally crash the game for apparently no reason. once, i used to shadowkeeper to give imoen a spell (lamely forgot to bring the scroll case i had kept for her); i wound up assigning her the wrong one (an "INxxxx" spell instead of a "WIxxxx" one) and the game would crash whenever i tried to rest. if so, copy the save and relegitimize it. if not, try dropping jan and see if you can get there without him. if you can something is wrong with his script more than likely and someone could use InfinityExplorer to give you a clean one to stick in your override.
good luck
