Hello to everybody.
I´ve just installed windows xp with bootcamp, following the instructions in the bootcamp manual. And everything went ok, I managed to install it without any problem at all. I was even able to change some settings like time and date. But once I went back, booting from windows to Mac, I´ve never been able to switch to windows again. I can see the bootcamp disk in the Finder windows, showing its 35 Gb partition and all the folders from windows(Documents and Settings, Users, etc). But when I search for it in Preferences-Start Disks, the bootcamp disk isn´t there at all. I restart iMac with the Option button pressed, but when I select to boot to windows xp, the screen goes black and that´s all, I have to restart the computer manually.
Does anybody have any idea of the solution?
Thank you very much
