Hi, I've an iMac 27" (late 2009) and have Bootcamp with Win XP installed since then. I've been upgrading the OS this past years (Lion, Snow etc) and both Bootcamp and XP worked always well.
I've recently upgraded to Yosemite and today I wanted to use the XP and when I restarted using Bootcamp (from Startup disk and also by pressing ALT key and selecting Windows) I got the famous DOS black screen with the usual options:
Safe Mode
Safe Mode with red
Start Windows with recent best option
Start Windows normally
Any option I choose from the system goes to Windows XP screen intro (the progress bar doesn't work at all) and after a second my iMac restarts (goooong....) and keep doing that looping (restart-error black screen-Win XP intro logo/restart-error black screen-Win XP intro logo-etc-etc-etc-etc) and it continues doing the same thing.
Any help? Could this be a Yosemite glitch?
Please help, thanks!
