I have a 24" alimunium iMac with 4GB ram. Last night I began the process of installing Windows XP via Bootcamp. I got to the point within the windows installer where I was supposed to select the partition I created using Bootcamp. It wasn't in the list of partitions.. so I shut it down and left it.

I got up this morning and NOW MY IMAC WON'T GO PAST THE GREY SCREEN!!! No Apple logo or spinning wheel.. the occasional cursor...

I have tried:
booting from Leapord install cds
zapping the PRAM
holding down option while restarting
installing the original RAM

all to no avail. I spoke to Applecare for 2 hours this morning... they were stumped. The funny thing is, when I hold down option with the Leapord install disk inserted, neither the install disk nor my hard drive shows up. BUT when I hold down option with the WINDOWS install disk inserted, it shows up in the list!!!

Anybody have any clue whats going on?

Anyway, i'm sending to an authorised apple service provider.
