Hi,
I have a late 2009 model MacBook Pro, and I'm extremely happy with it. Lately though, I've had the need to create and use a Windows partition to natively run apps that don't support Mac OS.
I've used the Boot Camp Assistant and created a Windows partition, and I have no problems booting up, holding down ALT and selecting the Windows CD. However, once I select the windows CD to boot to, the screen shuts off (Apple light on the back as well). There are still audible hard drive and cd sounds, so the computer is still on and, presumably, working.
I've taken the time to verify that the CD I'm using is bootable (tested in another family computer, running Windows 7, a Dell), so it's not the CD itself.
Any insights would be helpful.
Thanks,
Fabian
