[QUOTE="ADKhikerVW, post: 889474, member: 36483"] He said he already removed the partition and tried to start over, and now the problem is that his Mac is not reading the XP disk. OP, is the disk a burned copy by any chance? Since you said you tried a Linux disk (which is almost certainly burned) and it didn't work.. I am thinking it might be a problem with the disks you are using. The slot load drives in Mac notebooks are notorious for refusing to read certain kinds of disks. And it isn't always consistent. Sometimes it will read it fine just once, and then refuse to ever read it again. If I were you, I would try using a different brand of disk. [/QUOTE]
