[QUOTE="SwervDj, post: 995262, member: 143157"] Hey there, I heave read and searched the forums and i dont believe i can find any answer for my problem, if i am asking a question that has already been answered then i apologize in advanced. First my specs: 2009 Macbook Pro Unibody w/ Removable Battery Version 10.6.2 Processing: 2.4 GHZ Intel core 2 duo Memory: 4 gb 1067 mhz ddr3 Basically i have made a partition using boot camp but my macbook pro does not recognize my windows cd so to even eject i have to reboot and hold down the pad. My CD is a burnt copy (I own the rights to this license of XP i just keep burnt copies because i am always losing discs so i keep a burnt copy of everything) So i got a friend with a regular macbook to load the cd on his and he copied the files on a disc and gave it to me. The file is a .cdr file on a regular cd. When trying to boot it i got a "No bootable device" error so i burnt it on a DVD disc. At this point it does not give an error but just sits with the cursor flashing (all black screen) So thats pretty much where i am. I have tried burning the .cdr file and the individual windows files (the .exe and install files un compressed) onto dvd's but i just get a flashing cursor with a black screen. i press keys and nothing happens. It will sit like this until i hard reboot. I am at a total loss. I have heard people using burnt copies before but i am not sure what to do. OSX is running fine and everything else is up to date. Thanks for looking :Oops: [/QUOTE]

How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
