Boot Camp is trying to kill me.
So I tried to use Boot Camp to install WinXP on my mac. Everything worked fine until you get to that part of the install where it says "Hit Enter/F2/something else" for various install options. My keyboard refused to work.
So I got an external windows keyboard. Now that part works--but when I get to the part where you choose the partition, and my instructions say there should be three partitions to choose from--which there were the other night--now there is only one partition.
I refuse to push ENTER until I know it's not going to kill my OSX install or I have a backup, whichever comes first.
Update: I think I need to boot from my restore disks and run a repair before attempting to do anything. At least that's the advice I get online.
REAL Update: It's because my disk doesn't have SP2. Bleah.
