Help.. Confused with BootCamp on 10.6.x!

[Hugh]

Okay here is the problem I let my friend borrow my iMac, told him not to do anything with the Windows XP partition. Well he installed 10.9, thinking it wouldn't make my Windows XP partition go away. Well it got trashed..

I have partiton the drive to one partition, thinking that's all I have to do to get Bootcamp working.... Bootcamp lets me partition the drive, format the partition to NTFS (only choice I had), I did the normal format the drive, then it starts part 1 install, then restarts. Every time I try to boot in Bootcamp I keep I get it's missing file. Forgot what the missing file is, but if I remember this tells you something when't wrong with the install.

I have done the install 4 times now and I keep getting the same error...

Is there something I'm missing like it doesn't combine the recovery partition. I tried to change the partition scheme to Master Boot Record, that didn't work. When I went to install I'm told that the Master Boot Record had to be GUID.

I want to stay in 10.6 if possible, but I am willing to go to 10.7 if I have to.

EDIT: Just remember this computer has 4gb installed.. Could that be a problem?
