After attempting to install windows XP professional through bootcamp, and failing, my computer has now started blearing at me with MSDOS style writing: "No Bootable Device - Insert boot disk and press any key..." whenever I start up my iMac.
Installing bootcamp failed as I used a copied version of my XP disk, which I later learnt from the apple forums does not work (Only original disks do).
I can get around this boot screen by holding option key at start-up and then choosing the Mac disk. However, I don't particularly want to keep having to hold the option key every time I start up my computer. Any help? Take it to the mac store? I'm still under warranty.
I knew bootcamp would bring me problems, and alas, it has.
