ok, I'm hoping that this belongs here instead of in the hardware section
I recently reformatted my MBP's harddrive, installed Snow Leopard, and used Bootcamp to partition for XP. Once the drive was partitioned, I put my XP disk in but was greeted with this:
Figuring it might just be a one time error, I restarted and tried to boot from the disk again, but this time, it just ejected the disk and started into Snow Leopard. I've tried several times with my legit disk, several times with 2 different versions of TinyXP, and once with a roommates OEM XP disk, all to no avail.
Now for the strange part. VMWare recognizes all of the disks under OSX and will create a virtual drive for them.
So, does this sound like a bad optical drive, or does it sound like a software issue?
Edit: Just realized I didn't finish the thread's title
