[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 493565, member: 24098"] Apparently, your Mac is having difficulty reading your XP CD. Keep in mind that it must be an SP2-integrated disc. It must be bootable too (sometimes copies are NOT bootable, if they were made incorrectly). To eject the disc, start with the Mac turned off and then turn it on, while holding the mouse button until it ejects. If all else fails, start the Mac while holding the Option key. That should allow you to choose to boot into Mac OS X. Once that's done, change your Startup Disk in the System Preferences until you get your issue sorted out with your XP disc (or with your optical drive, if that turns out to be the problem). [/QUOTE]
