I used bootcamp to partition 5 GB of memory in order to install XP. I got the disc from a friend and inserted it into the drive. Once it loaded up I noticed it was Windows Vista, NOT XP. So I quit the program and as the computer was restarting I manually ejected the disk. ( I think I held the mouse button down and pressed eject or used the option function) I did this because it would not eject by just pressing the eject key. Anyways I then clicked on the mac HD after holding the option key on startup and it worked fine.
