Hi everyone I have had my macbook pro about 2 months so still in warrenty but want to see if any of you know how to sort this.
I was running my apple mac pro in boot camp windows xp installed, when it frooze so had to turn it off and on no other way, and now it wont boot not even in safe mode, is there anyway of making it boot back in the apple system rather then trying to run windows xp, or can you only do that from restart and if not what else can I do.

Luckily I have access to another computer but would really like to get it back running asap (wnt install windows next time though)

Thank you.
Angela

Hold down the option key while booting.

And got it back working now in apple and have deleated the windows drive off it all together.
it is taking a while to boot up now though unlike before do you think it might have been a virus and would i be better reinstalling everything i dont have much on it at the mo

Thank you

Just reboot again.

You will not have a virus/trojan/etc in OS X unless you've been downloading pirated software or video codecs from porn sites. Only possible way to get one at this time.
