Upgraded Boot Camp with Leopard - now constant restart

** Apologies for cross-posting. Just realized I was in the wrong topic thread.**

Hi,
Have been running XP SP2 on Boot Camp Beta since March - all good.
Upgraded this morning to Leopard using DVD, installation went smoothly.
Now everytime I startup in XP, I get to the desktop, and then XP restarts back in Leopard.
Have tried it both with my Bluetooth keyboard & mouse, as well as the USB keyboard & mouse.
Any help would be most appreciated!

I don't think it's Apple Time Services.

Although it seemed to work for me all day yesterday. This morning I was back to constant restarting.

I went through and disabled/ re enabled apple services 1 by 1. None of the services items got me back in today.

I went on to the Startup tab and disable kbdMgr.

Which stops the Boot Camp Services from loading at startup.

In my previous version of BootCamp I had un installed BCS completely.

I'm going to eave it like this for today and see how things go.

Based on what I can see from searching the boards we are in a very very small minority.

As far as disabling different services goes. If you get into windows un install the BootCamp Services from the Add/Remove programs menu.

That will leave all the critical drivers, and should stop the re booting. This is the only thing that has worked for me with any degree with repeatability.

By any chance has anyone with this problem in XP tried to load Vista?

I wonder if I just go to Vista if this problem will go away.

i can't get into XP for longer than 4 seconds before getting kicked out and having it restart in Leopard.
what if i repaired the XP using the install disk?
and now i'm getting an error message before i see the XP desktop - FAT32 needs to be checked for inconsistencies.
why is this not happening to anyone else?

wildly unthrilled with apple
