took a bite

Q: macbook dead after bootcamp windows7 install,

installed windows 7 using bootcamp, but couldn't get the internet to work, even trying the drivers, so decided to do the whole process over again, incase i missed something...

now the macbook (early2008) running Lion is nothing but a black screen with a flashing prompt,  did manage to boot to the windows dos screen to choose a version of windows to install, but getting a bit down the line on that it told me that there already was a version installed and to upgrade i would have to reboot the machine and then install the disk.

 

got one boot back into mac, but now nothing...  black screen only...  (with windows and mac)

 

cant find my lion disk, (have moved house since getting it, so it could now be anywhere!!) but did do a time machine backup before i started playing around with the install.  Can i get my old macbook back to a mac and start again with the bootcamp??

 

Thanks

MacBook (13-inch Early 2008), running OSX
