Help (bootable disk not found after using Boot Camp)

[noledge]

I need some help! I wanted to use boot camp to run windows xp pro on my macbook.
However after setting up and partition the drive, i proceeded to install windows.
When it got through the initial check of files and came to the setup screen it froze. I couldn't press enter to continue or F3 to exit.

I had to restart the macbook and hold down the track pad button to eject the disk, however now when i restart the macbook it comes up with bootable disk not found and I can't even access OS X.

What can I do to fix this? or do I have to take it to a technician to fix?

Please help!!!

Sounds like when you selected a partition to install to you selected the OSX partition. If so then your screwed. You need to put in your Leopard disk and start all over. If you are sure you did not boot off the Leopard disk and run disk utility, you know repair disk + permissions.

I can't even get into os x to run disk utility, i can't do anything past start up

Have you put in the Leopard DVD and held the 'C' key down after pressing the power button and it still won't boot?

Success!!!!

I must not have held C down for long enough...

But now my Macbook is back up and running.

SaSaSushi you the man.

Thanks for the advice.
