[QUOTE="ml_monkey, post: 899376, member: 118681"] OK first things first, are you sure you are using Windows XP Service Pack 2? If you try and use boot camp with a Windows XP disc that is below Service Pack 2 then it will potentially muck up the partitioning and cause your machine to boot up as per your decription below (I found out about the SP 2 thing the hard way!). As I don't own a CD with a pucka version of Windows XP SP2 (only Windows XP) I just installed VMWare and ran it through that, but this does not answer your question. If you have just purchased your mac book then I believe you have about 90 days of free technical support from Mac. I used it once and the service was excellent. I'd recommend you call them before doing anything drastic. [/QUOTE]
