[QUOTE="ChefEspeff, post: 559120, member: 19202"] I've been trying to run Boot Camp and get XP installed so I can play orange box, but it's not working. I have a XP disc with SP2 but everytime I get past choosing the partition to install on (I don't get to the formatting screen yet) it says Press any key to boot from disc and then slowly goes . . . . If I press a key during that it goes back and starts over the installation process but if I wait it says disk error and freezes up. Some people have said it may be a problem with the disc itself but I'm not really sure. Do they mean that it's scratched (I tried the toothpaste trick which usually works for that but it didn't change anything) I talked to everyone I know about borrowing their XP disc but none of them have the full upgrade with SP2. Does anyone have ANY idea what I can do?? [/QUOTE]
