No boot cd - Bootcamp installation?

[TheDarkCalling]

Basically, I created a ISO disk of Windows, using Roxio's Toast Titanium, all fine, all burned onto DVD disk.

Then I open Bootcamp, portion it, and hit begin the installation, allow it, all's okay, then my mac restarts, goes grey screen, then goes to a black screen and say's :

'No Boot CD, please enter Boot CD and hit any key to continue'

And I can't get past that..

Can anybody help me and advise me what to do?

Many thanks, Nick

Try using the original Windows disc.

Ahh any guesses why not my man?

bobtomay- I've lost the original windows disk, unfortunately, which is why I've resorted to making one.

harry- Heh, for some reason I'm getting the feeling your going to tell me I need the original as well.. Aside the fact I do not have the original, is there anything else I could do?

Nope. Nothing you can do except buy another. And personally, if you have to buy another copy of Windows, I would purchase an OEM system builders full version of Windows 7 Home Premium. Great price at NewEgg right now for $99.99 + free shipping.

Purchase a copy of Windows from your favorite establishment that sells software. If you don't have a favorite, try the link provided by chscag above.

Told ya! You have to spend some hard earned and buy the operating system.
