[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 744144, member: 24098"] If you don't attempt to boot from the CD, the system will try to boot the Windows partition. If the Windows partition didn't install properly or something is wrong with the partition structure, you may get a disc error. What kind of Windows disc did you use? The Boot Camp installation instructions are very specific on the type of disc you can use. If it's Windows XP, it MUST be a full version of Windows (not an upgrade). It must have SP2 integrated and it can not be an OEM-branded disc (i.e. it can't be one that came with another computer, if it has "Dell" or "HP" on it, for example, it's not going to work). You can use an "OEM for System Builders" disc, but again, it must have SP2 integrated at a minimum. [/QUOTE]
