SID Already Exists

Girish SharmaAug 26 2007 — edited Aug 27 2007

I was installing oracle 10G on Windows XP SP2 machine and the machine hanged during installation. After that i unstalled all the oracle products from OUI and deleted all the registry entries which i could. After doing all the above steps now when i again tries to install oracle, it shows an error "The SID already exists" i.e. for orcl.
So, how can i re-install (not fully prior install) oracle 10G.
Thanks
