Hi,
I tried to use Boot Camp Assistant on my new iMac to partition for Windows XP Pro to run some accounting software. I allocated 15GB for the Windows partition and I started the installation.
THe screen then went blank and froze for a very long time without doing anything. I couldn't get the Win XP CD out so I decided to shutdown by holding down the On/Off button. I then restarted and it seems to have booted from the CD and went to a blue screen for Windows Installation.
It then got the screen where I'm meant to see the partition options. But it only had the one partition, and no other options (partitions) to select. I gather that Boot Camp didn't or couldn't partition at all. I aborted the process fearing I might accidentally cause more damage.
Anyone know what I should do? Or how I can correctly partition? I want to be able to have the option to choose which OS to go into upon booting.
I also did a 'fsck -fy' and it responded that my volume was OK. Not sure what else to do.
Thanks,
