Okay, so yesterday night I used bootcamp to partition 40 GB to install Windows XP. Then I installed Windows XP. At the end of the install process, it restarted the computer. The problem is, when it restarted nothing happened at all. Then the computer started flashing this folder with a question mark in the middle of the startup screen. Can you help me? I've tried inserting the Snow Leopard install disc, but nothings working.

Start the PC up, and hold down the Option button. It SHOULD allow you to choose which partition to boot up from.

What kind of Windows XP disk did you use to install?
You have to use a full install XP Home or Pro with SP2 or 3. It can be either a MS boxed copy or an OEM System Builder's version. Model specific versions do not work - Sony, Dell, HP, etc. Nor do recovery or the so - called "corporate" versions. (which by the way are not legal to use).
