After I made the partition and all of that for my macbook, I had to restart my computer so I can clean the XP disk. After I took it out and re put it in, I went to my Mac os X desktop and went to boot camp assistant, ect. And then hit setup Windors, or whatever.
after I hit that it went into setup mode. But before that, I felt it wasn't clean enough and hit eject. (it was a mistake, I get it)
It went to the menu, "No bootable device -- Insert boot dick and press any key

I put in my XP disk and hit a key, but nothing happens.
I restart my mac and take the disk out, but it returns to this menu.

Please, I'n worried. How can I get back to my mac OS X desktop? please help.
 
just be careful what you are putting into your Macbook, could be rather embarrassing explaining that to the doctor/genius.

Yeah, thanks.
My computer seems to be running slightly choppy. I've had to erase a partition 2 or 3 times, reinstalled, I had to hold down my power button for 10 seconds to force retard a couple of times, ect.

Anything I can do to speed her up?
