What are you pushing when you boot?





Also: what the hell is going on with the time stamps... I did not post this reply before the original post. Look below for the original.

    Man, Windows REALLY sucks.





    Im trying to install a brand new 32 bit sp2 version of xp and right when it started (after partitioning) it ejected the disk and the screen reads "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"



    the disk is in, i cant eject it. Pushing buttons does nothing and i have no idea what to do



    Please help,

    Thanks

    I know that if you have a disk in the drive that you can't eject, reboot the machine while holding the primary mouse button until it spits out the disk. As far as booting from the disk, there might be a problem with your disk, I'm not sure. If it's not bootable, you might need a new disk. Hold [Option] on boot up to select what you want to boot from (OS X/Windows/CD/etc) Hope this helps
