Hi, i am new to the forum and i am having some issues on my new imac desktop. I am not really a mac user. So here is the problem.

I tried to to use the bootcamp in my leopard, everything is ok till the step inserting windows cd. After i insterted the cd, and click ok , the coms puter restarts. Till this step its ok, After that when the computer reboots, it comes back to the same grey screen and auto ejects out the cd. May i know what is going on with my mac, Seach the forum, it seems no one got this issues. Hope someone is able to help me. Thanks.

The specs are: Imac

leopard
Version 10.5.3

Does your Windows disc include Service Pack 2?

Quote:

Important: You must use a single full-install Windows installation disc (Service Pack 2 is required for Windows XP installations). Do not use an upgrade version of Windows and do not install an earlier version of Windows XP and attempt to update it later toSP2. Use only 32-bit versions of Windows.

I found the above info here.
