Please Help With Boot Camp!

Hi, I have windows xp and I want to use boot camp. So partioned the thing and then clicked install, in the boot camp assistant. Then it shut down to install windows, but it came up with a black scree with a little, blinking underscore line at the top left. And then it just stays there, doing nothing. And the keyboard won't do anything. Please help me solve this problem! Please!

Are you using a correct version of XP? It has to be a full install (not upgrade) contained on a single disk, of XP SP2. It can not be a restore disk or recovery disk.

Regards.

Yes, it's a full windows professional disk.

Can you boot into OS X if you turn it off an on again?

Doesn't Windows spend a while with that blinking underscore before it starts installing a few minutes later?

When the blinking line is blinking away, doing it's thing, I can hold down the power button to restart it (that's the only way I can get out of it). And I also tired leaving it there blinking, hoping it would do something, but after ten minutes, it was still blinking away.

Sounds like you have a corrupt windows xp disk.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!! (in slow motion)

yarjarrarr, Call Microsoft, they should exchange your XP disk.

Great news everybody! I finally got it working! I read that if you press a button right when the black screen comes up, it will start working. So I tried it, and it didn't work. But then I tried it again and it worked! BUT, now in winodws, the backlit keyboard is always on. I installed the drivers and it didn't help. Please help.
