I am currently trying to install Windows XP via Boot Camp on my MacBook running Leopard. All is fine and dandy until I get to the windows installation screen where it asks you to "Press ENTER to continue, press F3 to quit blah blah blah" so I'm pressing enter but it's not doing anything... This really sucks as I need it to do my web development stuff

If anyone can help I'd be awesomely grateful!

Cheers,
Cat

Some Mac keyboards do not seem to work that well in DOS mode, try temporarily swap the Mac keyboard with a USB keyboard made for windows and you should be able to complete installation!
