    Bootcamp worked well for a couple of weeks, now it's freezing during bootup.

    After I select the Windows partition by holding option at boot, I reach the part with the XP logo and the loading bar, during which it will freeze in that phase at a random time. The only thing I can do is manually shutdown and go back to OS X. I've tried "start windows normally", "start with last known good config.", "safe mode", etc. It freezes every time. It froze yesterday, but it managed to get through somehow and I played TF2 for several hours without issues. Now, it's just freezing every single time. Help?

    Install parallels, you can get a free 14 day trial, when you create a new virtual machine, select your boot camp partition. If the same thing happens, then something happened with your windows installation, maybe a virus, I dont know. If you can log in, then I guess your problems lies with booty camp.

    Anybody else have any ideas?
