I just got a new black macbook from my University computer store
Straightaway wanted to get vista installed with bootcamp
but after i partition the HD and the system reboots, the CD drive automatically spits out the CD and does not boot of it
also tried to boot with Leopard , same problem
any help

I saw a solution to this was to flip the macbook upside down during the boot sequence
is that the only solution >
please help

thanks

Do disks mount OK when you're normally booted into OS X? Try holding down the C key during boot to force booting from a disk.

I had the same problem and had to do a full reinstall of the OS. I lost all my data and it took several hours. Luckily, I did a backup just prior to partition. After that I had the Apple store do the bootcamp assistant and install windows for me. All works fine now. The Genius told me the new Macbooks came with a new bootcamp that had a few issues. Good luck
