[QUOTE="streetjumper, post: 1432686, member: 265516"] I don't know if this should go in this thread, but I decided I would put it here, as I just joined today. I have just begun to use Boot Camp, and found out the Boot Camp Assistant works just fine on my Mac. What I have problems with now is setting up the Windows portion. I have way to many CD's for XP, so I was going to use that. When I booted up my Mac with the XP CD in, I got to the blue setup screen. Everything had been going well, but when I got to where most people chose which drive to use, I was instead brought to a screen about how Windows has not been installed on this computer, and to put in a reference disk to prove being able to put it on my Mac (or something along those lines...) I attempted to eject it using the eject, but no dice. I looked on the internet for ways to get past it, but I only found "Slipstreaming" the CD's onto one CD. I was about to do it, when it was shown for Windows. Is there any way that I can at least get past Slipstreaming it, maybe another way of ejecting the disk? I am on an iMac, not a MacBook, so using a paperclip would not work. Is there someway to get past this part? [/QUOTE]
