[QUOTE="martyp, post: 816835, member: 61183"] Yeah, switch the Mac on holding down the 'option' key and you'll get Mac OS X and probably 'Windows' as options, just select Mac OS X. Cwa107 has explained the process well above. The partition of 130Gb would've been the Mac OS HFS+ partition, so lucky you didn't hit delete > format! There will be a 15Gb FAT32 partition on the drive, to continue installing XP, put the CD back in and at the partition section look for a 15Gb (15000Mb) partion and format that to FAT32 or NTFS to contiue installing XP. HTH. [/QUOTE]
