Hey guys, hoping you can help with this straaange problem. I have a history of problems getting a legitimate copy of windows XP to work on my unibody MBP. I originally had it formatted as a 32gb fat32 but once everything was up and running after about the third time restarting in windows I got to a diskcheck screen that I couldn't get by. So I reformatted as a 10gb NTFS and now I'm having a weird issue.
When I am at home, and my MBP is plugged into my external monitor, my USB hub with a couple of externals, speakers, and my firewire backup drive windows will boot up fine. But when I take it to school and try to boot into windows it will get to the black windows load screen, then the screen will go black, and then the screen will go completely black (as in unpowered) then it will briefly go back to a powered on black, then my computer will shut down and restart.
I originally thought it was just a coincidence but after trying to restart it at school about 4 times and still having no success getting it to boot I took it home and plugged it in and sure enough it booted up fine. And now that I'm back at school it won't boot again!
I really hope you guys can help me finally get windows up and running on this machine! Thanks for any help.
