Search for a folder called "Black Isle", good chance it is installed in that directory... Or the folder BGII - SoA.

i actually tried many (black isle and BG2 and BGII and SoA) no luck!
however, when i had CD1 inserted, i explored its contents and found alot of files. one of them was the install folder or file. so i opened that and it just started installing from the beginning again. remember, i chose the FULL installation (almost 2 gigs) and 95% of it has been completed, so the last thing i want to do is duplicate that by reinstalling it all again. if worst comes to worst, i will gladly uninstall what is there so far, and redo it all over. the funny thing is that, install wiz told me that i could continue installing later, well i can't figure out how to do that! and i don't know where to look in order to uninstall what i have. i remember clearly designating the files to be placed into my existing BG1 folder but none of them are there.

Not sure if this is even related but could be something to consider. Do you have 2 or more CD drives?

no, that's why i'm so flustered. you see i checked to see if correct CD was in and that no other program was running. it was like my PC didn't recognize the same CD it had just read from 30 minutes earlier!
and so that prmpted me to see if there were any scratches on the CD and none were there!

so anyway, i guess right now i just want to figure out how to continue installation or uninstall then start over.
