[QUOTE="Khamul01, post: 799280, member: 85468"] [b]Reinstall[/b] I recently did a reinstall. One thing you cannot do is simply insert your XP disk while in the windows partition and reinstall as if you were on a PC, that gave me a bunch of errors and auto-reboot. I would suggest going with a fresh start. Go to the boot camp utility in macOS, remove the partition (after you back up any data), and then recreate it. Then just do the install as you did before. There may be a way to reinstall windows without repartitioning, but it's not a difficult step, and may solve problems in the mean time. Not sure about the blue screen problem, but if you use the correct boot camp version for the OS you have, and follow the protocol they attach, it should work out. [/QUOTE]
