I partioned the drive and installed XP and it won't let me access anything else. Since I'm new to the Mac OS I may have misstepped. What's my next step for anyone who is running both?

If you need to get back to Mac OS X, restart and hold down the option key as soon as you hear the chime.

If you just want to access your files from Windows, you can't, Windows doesn't support the Mac file system so it can't access files on the Mac side.

Make sure to install the Windows drivers for your Mac Pro. Simply put in the first install disk that came with your Mac Pro while you're running Windows.

Once you wanted revolution, now you're the institution, how's it feel to be the man?
