[QUOTE="Buzzard2010, post: 1185426, member: 176415"] I would recommend deleting the Windows partition you made then repair your hdd by booting into your OSX disk choosing Utilities > Disk Utility, clicking your HDD from the left pane, click the First Aid tab, click Repair Disk, then click Repair Disk Permissions. Once done (this can take some time so be patient with it) reboot and try the whole process of installing XP again. Make sure as Bob says the XP you are trying to install is XP SP2 or higher though. Hope this helps. - Simon [/QUOTE]
