Everything went smooth on the MBP. It takes the Win7 64 bit disc and after I deleted the bootcamp partition to re-install it asked me to format the drive and after a few hours everything was fine.

The Mac is another story. I uninstalled the partition and recreated it equally. The Mac won't handle 64 bit so I am trying the 32bit which was on it once before.

I never get to the Bootcamp screen asking me to format the new partition. All I get is the screen to apportion the bootcamp and it asks for the windows disc which i have (not an upgrade, the original). It suddenly goes to a black screen with a blinking cursor in the upper left corner and hangs forever.

I never got the question to format the bootcamp drive. Any ideas why the re-install is not working?
