Hey guys,
I'm trying to install XP on my mbp and am having trouble.
I obviously installed VB it is working fine, I started to install windows and an error occurred (shocking!) I tried it on another machine and the same problem, so I got a newer disc. anyway, I deleted the old windows I originally tried to install by right click delete in the main window. (I don't think that's the right way lol) When I went to install the new xp disc, it picked up from where the old one failed, it told me to insert the disc, I did, and it needed a certain file. It asked where to look for the file, and showed d:\ and a:\ in the drop menu, I assume the paths would be different on a mac.
So how do I completely delete the original attempt to install xp, so that when I use the new disc it is as if its from square 1?
is that the only way ? or is there a way to carry on?
If any of this makes sense , please help lol
thanks!
Mac and XP

Re: Mac and XP
Once deleted from the main GUI, you need to finish by going to file and then the media manager. Remove it from there as well and when asked if you want to delete it say yes.
