[QUOTE="chscag, post: 681511, member: 46727"] You need to start all over....:Oops: Boot the new Mac with your Leopard install disk (disk one). Select disk utility from the top menu and partition the MBP as one partition using GUID and format it to HFS +. Then install Leopard. OK, you should be back to square one like before you attempted to install Windows. Be sure to print out and read the Boot Camp instructions. (It's a PDF file.) Do not create such a large Windows partition as you did before. Why do you need 200 Gb to run Windows? The 11 Gb of free space left for OS X is not enough. Are you installing XP or Vista? XP, even with applications and games installed should probably be limited to around 20 Gb or so. Vista around 32 Gb. If all this is confusing to you, I suggest you take your new MBP to an Apple store nearby and have one of the tech persons there help you out and where you can receive on the spot advice. Regards.
