    I have a HUGE problem

    Searched to no avail. Sorry if this has been posted before. I'll try to make this as short as possible. I am still a noob at this, had my mac for a couple of months. Have a MacBook Pro. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    I received my windows disks from school yesterday and installed bootcamp fine.

    The problem I had was installing windows. Upon reading the installation and setup guide AFTER trying to instal the disk, it informs you to only use the C driver.

    Well, ******* me, I deleted pretty much all the drivers trying to find a spot to install windows.

    I allocated 14GB of space for windows (too little?). I thought I got through the installation of windows, because I typed the code in and the windows boot up screen appeared. Then I got the blue screen of death. I tried restarting and then got another error message on the blue screen.

    What can I do to fix this?

    The 14 GB space you allocated is more than adequate.

    It would interesting to learn where you acquired your copy of Windows. The software that shipped with another computer can be expected to be problematic if it installs at all.

    By C driver, I presume that you mean C:\> drive.

    What code did you type?

    What error message did you get on the blue screen?

    Are you using a Windows XP SP2 disc? I remember hearing that Windows XP SP2 was a requirement for installation on the Intel Macs.
    Apple iMac G5 17" (2 GHz G5) - Mac OS X 10.5.8/Ubuntu 10.04
    Asus Eee PC 901 (1.6 GHz Atom N270) - Fedora 13
    Apple Macintosh Quadra 650 (33 MHz MC68040) - Mac OS 8.1
    "JHVH-1" (2 GHz AMD Athlon XP 2400+) - Slackware 13.1

    i'm not sure, so please confirm:

    you have deleted everything by installing a bad installation of windows over your mac os volume?

    if so, find the mac os re-install disks that came with your mac, put it in your mac and start it up holding 'c' see what happens, and then from the menu at the top, select start-up disk.

    can you find your Mac OS X 10.4.6 volume to start up by?
