| Boot Camp Issues Having fixed one issue another seems to have arisen. After running through Boot Camp Assistant, and inserting the windows XP disc it went in to the XP installation program. It had shown 3 partitions, which was odd, one said 200 MB free, one said roughly 14gb free, and the other roughly 16gb free. Feeling something was wrong I exited the install and and restarted. This is where the problem came up. Restarting it came to a black screen which said, "Press Any Key to Boot From CD...Missing Operating System". I had to press and hold the power button to restart. I attempted to eject the disk but no luck, it does this whenever i restart. Thanks for the help in advance ŽAndrew |

| Hold down the mouse button to eject a disk when booting up. Hold down X to attempt to boot from OS X. Once you get the XP disk out, boot from your OS X disk and start Disk Utility to see what's going on.

| What I did was simply hold alt when it restarted, went smoothly from there. Thanks for the help. |

| Alt/Option gives you a list of bootable systems, the X key selects OS X as the OS, for future reference.
