Windows Installler keeps repeating

the windows installer keeps repeating cause when, after formating partitation, copying files... , windows installation asks before rebooting to remove the any floppy disk or something like that... when it reboots you have to remove the windows cd. To do so press and hold trackpad button until it removes the cd from the drive. then windows will configure and i thing it will ask for the cd again.. its easy from here...

to the second post i didnt understand:
did you accidentally format the hard drive or wrong partitation and you want to install os x again but the cd doesnt recognize the hard drive?
if so you have use disk utility on the os x cd and format hard drive to mac os x "registo cronologico expandido"( in portuguese)

Hey guys,
My Windows installer keeps repeating also. However, I am able to exit the installation. But when I try to boot from the Windows partition I get a black screen that tells me that there is an error and tell me to press any key to exit. Pressing the keys has no effect and I'm at loss as to what I should do.

Looks like I'm having the same problem. I hope someone can help us out. I'm getting worried...

i had the same black screen just before starting to install windows but then i press and hold trackpad button until the cd ejects (keyboard didnt work at that time), put the cd back in again and the installation began. After format and installing , this process keept repeating again and again until i notice that just before reboot (after format and installation) windows asks to eject the cd. So when it reboots hold trackpad button until it ejects. Now windows will configure and it ll ask for the cd again to install sp2.

I got the CD out, but now it seems like my Mac OS is gone! I reboot my MacBook Pro and it looks like it's trying to boot up to the incomplete Windows installation. I get "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key".

This is going to suck if I have to reinstall Leopard too. /cry

i dont think mac os x is gone. You can do one of 2 things:

try to put the windows cd back again and again until it boots up from it and then try to reinstall or repair windows.

or try to put mac os x cd go to disk utility and boot from mac os partitation. Then erase the windows partitation by bootcamp and start windows partitation and installation all over again.

When i refer disk utility its startup disk...

other thing:
i advice you to dont format windows partitation as FAT volume but as NTFS.
Most of the times startup disk isnt able to recognize FAT as a bootable volume so it wont appear on startup disk list and you wont be able to boot from it and use windows (at least this happened to me ).
