[QUOTE="UnhndldExcptn, post: 690809, member: 60980"] Hello, this is my first post in these forums and I have a problem that I can not figure out, but need to rather quickly. I attempted to create a dual boot situation with OS X/XP. I created a 32gb partition with no problem. Then I thought I installed XP correctly. When I boot, it goes into OS X. When I open Bootcamp, I can now see a Windows folder with all of the Windows files. There are also boot.ini, bootsect.dos, NTDETECT.COM, ntldr, and PAGEFILE.SYS files in Bootcamp, none of which open. So, I can see the Windows folder, that does mean that it was installed, right? How can I access XP? Should it ask me during the boot process which OS I want, or do you switch once you get in OS X? I am very new to this, and macs in general so any advice is very much appreciated. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
