Hello,
I've done all the necessary steps to partition bootcamp correctly for windows. I start the installation for Win xp and it formats fine, downloads or copies the files alright, but... When it gets down to finalizing windows installments and setup, where it has the blue screen and scrolling advertisements for windows xp in white writing, and it also says "Windows installation will be finished approximately 39 minutes from now" That's the screen where it does not do anything after that. The disks for windows is good because i tested it. Is there a problem with how bootcamp is trying to read this CD as the finilization setup process takes place?

what can I do now?

Disks? More than one like in the Media Center version? And just how did you test the disks? Boot Camp instructions are specific about which version(s) of Windows can be used. It has to be either a MS boxed Windows XP SP2 full install or an OEM System Builders Windows XP SP2 full install.

If you're trying to install the XP Media Center version (2 disk set) it won't work.

Regards.
