[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 348456, member: 24098"] Relax, the OS X install is still there, it's just that XP is set to be the default "startup disk". During the Bootcamp installation process, you create a driver CD to use within Windows to install drivers specific to the Mac hardware. This CD should be inserted and run after XP is installed. To switch between OS X and Mac OS, hold the Option key down when you turn the computer on. It will then let you choose which OS to run (don't worry, OS X is still there). Once the drivers are installed on XP, you can either set the default OS to Mac OS from the Control Panel or, you can boot up to OS X using the Option key during startup, go into System Preferences and choose your default Startup Disk from there.
