Hi everyone,
I am trying to install Windows 7 via bootcamp on my Macbook pro and seem to have run into a serious problem.
After partitioning by hard drive via the bootcamp assistant, I followed the instructions to insert my Windows 7 cd. When choosing a partition to install windows on, the one i had designated to windows was incompatible - i got an error message saying it was'nt in NTFS format.
I cancelled the Windows 7 installation, which restarted my macbook, which proceeded to try and load the windows installation again. However, the screen froze at the windows startup screen.
Now I can't get the windows disk out of the drive, nor load OS X.
How can I get the cd out and recover my computer?
Please help!
EDIT:
Okay, i managed to get the windows 7 cd out. After restarting my computer, there is a black screen that says "no bootable device, insert boot disk and press any key"
Have I somehow erased OS X from my mac? I really hope not
Please help, and thanks for your time
