Hold down option key and select the Mac HD when booting. Reinstall windows.

Insert the DVD that came with you Mac. And when booting press C, this would make you boot from the DVD, and then you can re-install OS X.

If this does not works then you can call AppleCare or go to an Apple Store.

Specifically, what version of Windows (XP, Vista), what level (Home, Pro), what Service Pack if XP, and what type (Upgrade, Full, OEM)?

i was trying to instal XP Home Full

OK, as long as it was SP2, you should have no problems.

Make absolutely sure you print & read the instructions Apple provides and follow them to the letter.

Not sure with the current MacOS Install DVD, but on booting from it, if there's an option to abort an install first and use Disk Utility to examing the disc firs, I'd do that. otherwise, do a clean instal and start from scratch.

Did that about five times the first weekend...
