    Hello,

    I picked up a mbp 2.4 with 4gigs today. Everything was fine until i ran bootcamp. I created a 15 gig partition, then proceeded to install win xp corp sp2 in the regular blue windows screen and the computer rebooted. After that, i keep getting a disk error, press any key to reboot black screen error... the cd would not eject, i got the cd out by holding the trackpad down and restarting but i still get the same error... it wont boot into OSX, wont boot into Windows.. what gives?

    Any help anyone has is much appreciated!

    Edit: Turns out if you read instructions you should not select "leave file system current" you have to format it either NTFS or FAT. Also, depressing the "c" key was the only way to get the cd to boot again.. you learn pretty quickly when your computer won't boot - my apologies for the initial post but it may be educational for a few.
