Hi there !
I have a problem, and i would be most grateful if someone could shed some ligt on the issue
I would like to be able to run XP and OSX (boot camp style).
I recently reset my macbook to fabric standard status, at some files couldn't be moved in order to make a partition for XP.
After cleaning my mac i made a partition for windows (60 GB)
As the next boot camp step dictated i put in my windows XP CD (containing service pack 2).
I choose the newly made boot camp partition and format using NTFS file system
The installation begins and the installation files copies to my partition (or so the box says).
The screen reads "computer will restart in 15 seconds and the installation will continue"
When it restarts the entire installations starts over

I don't know what to do. I've repeated the entire thing 7 times in the last couple of days and i need help!

That's because you're probably pressing "return" when you receive the message about starting from the CD. Do not press "return". Just allow the machine to restart by itself and the Windows XP installation will pick up where it left off. This is a common mistake that users make when installing Windows using Boot Camp.
