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 was just curious, I am yet another person who is experiencing this restarting bull. I have been experiencing it since before I upgraded to Leopard and was running tiger with boot camp beta. I can't really remember when it started happening but thinking back it might have been when I upgraded my memory to 2 gb. Anybody else out there think it might be a hardware problem conflicting with windows?

I have tried switching to NTFS from Fat32 and it did nothing. I tried installing xp pro instead of xp home and still nothing. Re-installing is a waste of time! It may work for a little while, but then it starts up again.

I have the same problem with my mac. After latest mac upgrade windows started crashing every time it finish loading, just before welcome screen appears. The same happens when I try to start in safe mode. Upgrading bootcamp from 1.2 to 1.4 didnt help. After all the windows partition is not showing in mac now. In disk manager it cannot be mounted or checked.
Does any one know how to solve this problem, or at least how to get my files from xp drive?

Now I get blinking question mark on startup. Nothing loads. I guess the hard drive is dead now:(
