Hi there. I think one problem created the other here. I have my Macbook that
I got on Ebay in 2008, so I know it must be Intel. I know it's a dual
2.something gig with 4 gigs of ram and the guy updated it to a 250 gig hard
drive. Last night when I had sighted assistance available, I tried to get
bootcamp running. I had snow leopard installed, but not those 900 mb of
updates. I created the windows partition, made it equal share with the mac,
that slider isn't accessible with VO, can't find it, 32 gigs may be too
small, or 5 or whatever it is. Then I reboot with my newly bought from Ebay
XP disk that has service pack two, hitting on start the installer from boot
camp. I know the CD is good, and it boots straight to a black screen with a
flashing white cursor, no text anywhere. I tried my other XP disk from the
PC, that one did the same, so I know I don't have two bad disks, or not
likely. Then, I decided to apply all the updates to Snow Leopard, now VO
won't speak any more and Windows still won't boot the install from CD
either, same pesky flashing cursor with nothing else on the screen. How do I
force Windows on to this thing as I do some net radio and may need it for my
software should I have to bring the machine somewhere else when my time slot
comes? Also, some card games require it. Another thing that update did was
screw VO up beyond repair, at least after the login prompt it doesn't come
back. It appears to as dad was reading me stuff that Alex should've been
speaking, but it's not. I need one rtf file out of the machine before I
reinstall everything as I wrote down my mobile speak userid in it, and I've
since lost the email with it in, got to love Imap sometimes. Is there
anything I can do from the DVD to get at my files? I think I used file
vault, and I know my password. Is there any way out of this mess?
Thanks.
