Can't Boot up XP Pro on a MacBook using Boot Camp after installing
Yesterday, I partitioned my hard drive on my new MacBook and installed
Windows XP Professional SP2 on it. Everything worked fine during the installation. I was even able to boot it up in Windows. After a couple of minutes, the computer automatically rebooted without any warning. Then, I would try to start windows, and a blue screen with an error message would flash in the top left quadrant of the screen, but it was too quick for me to see what it said. After doing that twice, I now only receive a black screen when I try to boot up in windows. So, I was going to try to uninstall and reinstall XP. I inserted the installation disc and selected it. First, it said "Press any key to boot from CD..." So, I press a key. Following that, it says "Setup is inspecting your computer's hardware configuration." That only shows on the screen for about a second before the screen goes black and stays that way. This whole time, booting up in Mac OS works fine. I called Apple support to see if there was a way to use Mac OS to uninstall windows, but they said no. How can I uninstall, and is that the best solution? |

Yes. I'm using boot camp. I don't think that's the problem, though.
