Failed install - can I delete the temporary files?

I've tried many times to get VIsta to install on my computer (the problem
being that it won't recognise my RAID hard drives for some reason, no matter
what I try), and have just about given up. One thing I tried was to run the
installer from within WIndows to start with, rather than booting off the
downloaded DVD; however, this still didn't work, but I now have several
gigabytes of temporary files in the hard drive root directory, one of which
seems to be a boot manager (bcdedit.exe); is it safe to delete these files,
and will Windows XP be able to boot if I do?
