after trying installing xp (i choose bootcamp partition , but it didnot install --install error) on my screen -- disk error, press any key to restart. i did push any button but nothing happen, so turn off forcely, then remove battery then turn in on again ... same message any clues... TIA
reinstall the windows, go back to mac osX and repartition drive..try again, something must have gone wrong with your installation
i cant log in to OSX, after restarting and pulling out the battery still displaying: Disk error , push any key to restart. TIA
Press&Hold the alt/option key after pressing the power button. Select your OS X partition. You should now be Log on to your OS X partition. Repartition your drive with Boot Camp or the disk utility. Try to use another XP Licensed installer, the disc might be the cause of error installation. Same thing happens to me before then I use another Windows OS dvd/cd installer, after that a fine installation process for my Windows partition.
now it is showing : No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key.... did i loose all the data?
it WORKED!! thanks a lot.... whew... i thought i lost all my data more power and mabuhay po kayo -doughn
@ doughn, J6Lhanopol i right, yuo just set bootcamp as a start up OS, you can change it to OSX under sys prep - start up disk, do change another XP copy, use legit btw. dont be discourage by it, our mac as the potential to carry both Oses, you can give it a try when ur ready..its the reason i switch to mac...
I had the same problem... In OS X, i forgot where it is placed, the start up should be in OS X.. Regarding your problem in Windows, you forgot one step, you need to reformat the boot camp partition either in fat or ntfs.. If you choose fat, maximum is 32gb and you can access your files via OS x.
