Windows won't start on my mini mac! help!

[snakex232]

When i start my mini mac, i press + hold alt

Then press windows when it starts up, it goes as far as the loading screen.
Then the whole screen turns black and it restarts the computer.

I tried putting it in safe mode, and putting it back were the last time it didn't have a problem, but both options just do the same thing as before.

I don't want to delete windows, but i may have to if none of you can help.

Thanks!

How old is the Windows partition? If you just installed it, it could've been a bad install, not installing correctly. If you boot into OS X, is the Windows partition displayed on your desktop?

no its been on a for awhile,

i think its a virus. is there a way to clear it without being on the windows part?

You could download an Anti-Virus application for OS X, it will have updated definitions for known viruses for Windows.

I had the same issue, got a Mini in April, made a 32 GB Windows partition loaded XP Pro, nothing else and one day I select Windows to boot into, and nothing, it was stuck. I booted off the Installer Disk and used Disk Tools to repair the hard drive, since then I have had no problems or issues. I am not saying it is as easy as I had it, but what others are telling you could be true, the Windows Partition in BootCamp can get corrupted.


Good Luck
