Hi !
Recent disk malfunction caused unusual problem : since BOINC was located on that disk (Not c:) , it (obviously) dont run .
The problem is : I cannot remove it from computer , but installer says it installed and refuses to work .

There is an FAQ wiki which may be helpful.

You have probably hit Error 1714: older version cannot be removed or Error 1327: invalid disk. The easiest route out of that is the one suggested at Step 4 - use regedit to remove the old installation location from the registry.
