Hi!
I am due to leave to go on holiday in a few hours (enough time to do installs 🙂 ) and so I wanted to install XP on my MacBook to do some programming work in VB while I was away.
At this point I should mention that I am using Tiger and that I have already used boot camp before and that Parallels or CrossOver is not currently an option.
So a while ago I decided to use Boot Camp to install Linux on my MacBook on a 5GB partition. Earlier today I booted into the XP CD and tried to install windows over that partition by doing a quick NTFS format and then install.
The problem happens when I get to the first reboot that is required by the install. I cannot get back into the install and pick up where if left off by holding down alt and choosing Windows.
Is there a way to get past this?
[PS. I have tried to get Leopard but the Apple shop near me has ran out]
Looking forward to replies!
