Allright, I have my disk partitioned to 32 GB for Windows, and i insert my Windows Xp Home Edition full version disk when prompted. Then, after clicking start installation, everything on my desktop disappears as if the computer is going to restart, and i get a rotating circle in the center of my screensaver. Then when it gets to the white screen, nothing happens. No apple or rotating circle. I am forced to reboot. This is the cd I am using, and I am under the impression that this is the correct one to use via Bootcamp.

Amazon.com: Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition FULL VERSION with SP2: Software

Am I simply not waiting long enough? Does it make a difference that I partitioned the disk when I had a Windows Vista disk in my computer, and if so, should I re-partition it?

Thanks in advance for replies
