I have the 13 inch macbook pro, the baseline version. I wanted to play The Sims 2 in windows so I started my bootcamp and put in my windows xp disk. It started to install but then said disk error - press any key to restart. Pressing the keys didn't work so I had to do a hard shut down. It was going really slow when it booted up and I have no idea how to get the disk out. How do I do a full wipe of the hard drive and reinstall everything? :confused:

when you get the CD out, just google how to force eject a cd in an intel mac, use your install CD and go to erase and and reinstall. if you are talking about just erasing the bootcamp partion use the bootcamp program in your utilites folder to erase the window partion and try again.
