I wanted to install Windows with Bootcamp, and did alright, until it told me 'disc 0 partition 3: Bootcamp' was not available, but a 'format' link was available on that partition number. I clicked it, it formatted then started installing Windows. it did fine, except, when it restarted during the installation, the screen is just black. Keyboard and mouse are on but do nothing, and when I switch it off then back on, it goes straight to a windows startup. Don't tell me I've lost my Mac software on it!!! Help please?

First of all, try holding Alt/Option on your Mac's keyboard when you boot it. That will bring up the boot manager. From there you can get back into the Mac side of things.
