Basically; got a Windows XP SP1 UPGRADE disk and used Boot Camp Assistant in my Finder > Utilities and when it said "Restart to begin the installation", I restarted and got the "Setup is loading Windows" stuff and then when it said "Press ENTER to continue", i pressed it and it didn't work. none of the keys did. so the only thing i could do was restart and now the windows cd is stuck in the drive and i can't even load OS X.
I have a mini, 1.83ghz, 2gb ram and a apple wired KB/mouse.
I cant even put the Leopard Restore DVDs in because the XP disk is in the drive.
Help me
My dads going into the apple store today and i guess i could tag along

So your mac won't even boot up OSX?
Edit: I do suggest tagging along down the Apple store with your Dad.Last edited by xxMATTGxx; 12-10-2008 at 09:26 AM.

Ok. I installed bootcamp last time to no avail (wasn't a legal disc
)
So anyway, force eject the cd out.
Press and hold the button on the trackpad.shawn

Usually there is a tiny hole near the CD drive, smaller than a pen nib. You need to find something like a toothpick and shove it in there, usually this force ejects the disk.
But ye, tag along with your dad I say.Last edited by Recursion; 12-10-2008 at 02:13 PM.

LOL what a fuss. this happened to me, just hold the eject button your keyboard (providing it is an Apple keyboard) whilst you turn your computer on. Or just click and hold your mouse button if you don't have an apple keyboard. or hold X whilst you turn your Mac on.
That went fast.
