I have just got my 27" iMac and.....
I installed Windows XP, it took two attempts to actually get through the whole installation process without the system freezing up, but eventually it was on and running fine.
That was until last night, I tried to boot into windows and I got a black screen with "A Disc Read Error has occurred, Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete to continue." To which I did and nothing happened.
To cut a long story short, I have tried repartitioning with bootcamp and then formatting (NTFS Both full and quick) and re-installing at 9 times now, with the result being that Windows XP cant even get to the main installation part (once it reboots after formatting and installing some files), all I keep getting is the black screen with Disc Read Error.
I've tried using disc utility and burning XP onto a new CDR.. That didnt work either.
I've googled the error and it's happened to quite a few people, but so far I have found no solution.
Anyone else come across this? Did you manage to fix it?
