[QUOTE="chscag, post: 686509, member: 46727"] Have you bothered to read the manual that came with your new Mac? Or the Boot Camp instructions? Anyway, press the power button on your MacBook and hold it down until the machine turns off. Now power back up to reboot. You should boot right into OS X. Eject the CD by pressing the keyboard eject key. Make sure you use the correct copy of XP. It has to be a full install (not upgrade) version of XP SP2 and can not be an OEM manufacturer restore disk. Write back if you're still having difficulties. Regards. [/QUOTE]
