I installed boot camp and put my Windows XP boot CD in my Macbook. When it gets to the screen to choose an option to start windows, it asks me to press enter to continue. I push enter and it does nothing. I tried to plug in an external keyboard and it didn't recognize those inputs either. Please help.
Got a tip for us?

Try fn+Return on laptops.
Try clicking the mouse to gain focus to the window and then hit Return.
Oh.. and Windows Enter = Mac Return

I've tried your suggestions but still not responding to it. is there anything else that i could try?
I had the same problem, although it worked in previous times. What solved it for me is to use a different Windows XP installation CD. I would NEVER believe this if anyone told me it was the solution, but apparently there were no keyboard problems with the other XP CD.
I had the same problem. I simply booted in OSX, removed the partition, and started from scratch with the boot camp instructions. The second time I installed windows it worked (from the same disk as the first).
