Okay, I installed windows XP and everything went fine...Then I install all the bootcamp drivers and restart then I get this message everytime I start my Macbook:

Windows coul not start because the following file is missing or corrupt:
System32\DRIVERS\pci.sys

You can attempt to repair this file by starting windows setup using the original setup cd-ROM .
Select 'r' at the first screen to start repair.

I don't care if windows works...I JUST CANT GET BACK TO MY MAC! How can I fix this?

Did you try holding the Alt button when starting up your Mac?

If that doesn't work, see if you can get into Windows using Safe Mode (just keep pressing F8 as your computer loads, you'll eventually get a menu for Safe Mode)

Hold down Option when you reboot and you should be able to select OS X or XP as the OS you wish to boot up. Once in OS X, you can go into System Preferences under the Apple menu and select that OS X be the default start-up OS. Then you can attack the XP problem at your leisure. I'd try uninstaling and re-installing Windows and Boot Camp and see if that clears up the problem.

I recently installed Boot Camp and XP and it went completely without a hitch.
