Hi folks, hope you can help.
What I have done:
1) Ran Bootcamp assistant.
2) partitions my iMac Harddrive using the assistant to read:
Macintosh HD 299 GB, and Windows XP 50 GBs
3) I insert the windows Professional SP2 cd
4) Click on Start Installation on Bootcamp Assistant
5) System reboots, and the blue Windows Setup screen comes up
6) I select from the list of available partitions the c: Drive marked by boot camp FAT32)
7) File copying occurs, and then windows wants to reboot
Here is the issue:
8) When the syteem reboots (Windows CD still in) the prompt in dos comes up asking to "...boot from cd press any keey.."
---> If I select this the CD is read and the the whole Blue Screen setup process starts all over again (i.e. endless loop)
---> If do not press a key, the I get disk error, press any key to restart. Key Pressing does nothing....
I have tried the option KEY being held down and selecting the CD, and I have tried selecting the windows partition.
No success, what am I missing or doing wrong?
iMAC 24 inch, Intel 2.8 Extreme 2GB RAM
Windows XP Pro SP2
Thanks in advance
