    Dear all,

    Just got my Macpro and i'm unable to boot from the Windows XP CD. It's XP Pro with SP2. It booted the first time but then i realised that i need to donwload and burn the bootcamp drivers.

    Then went to go and reboot from the CD and all i get is a black screen with a flashing "_" in the top left.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thanks

    Darren

    Well there are a few scratches but, it works in other machines. PC and MACS.

    It's weird that one second it was working and now all i get is a black screen with a flashing cursor.
