Harddisk has severl unkown folders

[man t]

XP SP2
I tried to install SP3 recently but failed. Since then my machine always
reboot it self every 30 seconds. I booted from CD drive with XP cd went to
recovery mode and type FIXBOOT.

Now I found out in my second harddisk has several folders with name such as:
0ae4089b57e590b744e373
2a884b442db579e38084a
.....etc.

I cannot delete these folders.
Each of these folders contains dll, exe and inf files, contents of them are
exactly the same.
Any idea what are these folders?

Sorry, I don't see the " Advanced " settings?
