[QUOTE="Glitch89, post: 1231942, member: 200923"] [b]Cd[/b] so u partitioned a part of you mac to windows? and part mac? well this is where it gets tricky. If you put your original mac boot CD in and boot from CD, you should be able to run the macbook perfectly. make sure you boot from CD by holding "c" down until u see the apple logo with the circle thing spinning. after booting from CD, go to utilities and see what your harddrive says. Since you have a part partitioned to windows, your harddrive should be altered with a different HDD space. Ex: 500gb HDD split to 200 for windows and 300 to mac, you should see the HDD as 300gb.. So if everything looks good...then try repairing the mac side.. if that fails, reformat that side and reinstall... THEN, after doing that, after rebooting, you should be able to see a boot menue to choose which to boot to... IF that fails...i recommend reformatting the whole **** computer and reinstall mac and then bootcamp or whatever with windows. hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
