Time machine is great..Have a USB/Kbd/Mouse BOOTCAMP only works on GUID partitioning. I ONLY found in Dos on the Early F8 repair option a XP disk. Symptoms:: Bootcamp typically locks up saying to reformat in GUID. and you cant find the option. and ((Option) grayed out) It will just not work if you have repartitioned to something else.. Note if its GUID or something else by pressing the blue (i) information on the hard drive in drive utility while the whole drive is selected .Even Disk Utility wont work "no GUID selection". TO fix that. With a XP system disk,, repartition the whole drive build by selecting F8 repair disk and type DISKPART in dos.. repartition. the whole drive. Get back to Back to OS X disk Restore from Time machine with a backup and using the OSX disk. (up on the Tabs) After your Mac works again .In Boot Camp Partition to less than 32G for fat32. Windows. Partition to over 32 to NTSF. Install windows ... COMMAND KEY ON MAC boots from CD. C from USB keyboard 101 type.. boots from CD. Mouse button held forever from booting Mac machine .. ejects disk. OSX CD disk has a tab to option which to boot from if needed. GOOOD luck. . Write me if this helps..anyone. Dan [/QUOTE]
