[QUOTE="nankers, post: 598015, member: 48895"] Hi, I hope someone has some ideas. I ran boot camp and set up a partition (32GB) just fine. After that, the computer reboots and begins to install XP. Everything is fine, till it finishes and reboots, then says can't boot from disk, press any key to restart (which doesn't work). I've trawled the net, and my problem is that I can't format the partition, because it doesn't give me the option! I am able to choose to install to the BOOTCAMP FAT32 partition, but I never even see the screen to choose to format either as FAT or NTFS, it just starts installing. Because it doesn't format, it cant boot in windows. When i go back to OSX, the bootcamp partition contains all the windows files so the installation seems to be working. How do I format?? Please help!! [/QUOTE]
