So, I installed XP, everything went fine, but now I can't get into OS X. I start up my mac holding down the option key, like it says, and it dont give me the option, just goes straight into XP
Then, trying to change it in the control panel, performance and maintanence, theres no Startup disk file or folder to which i can access to configure my default OS like it says there should be.
ALSO, the mac driver CD that bootcamp burned for me wont work. One bar away from completing instalation and it says 'Error - 1603 could not install' blah blah blah, Windows usual crap.
Help me plz!

First tell us what you did so you could boot OS X again. Then tell us what exactly IS working and what EXACTLY the error message you get when installing the driver CD says. "Blah, blah, blah" is not exactly useful.
Oh, and Welcome to the MacNN Forums!

I held down alt instead of the option key.
the ATI graphics is the ONLY thing that came off working after using the mac driver CD. The message that came up before finishing the installation was:
"Error 1603 Fatal error during installation
Consult Windows Installer Help (Msi.chm) or MSDN for more information"

It sounds like your driver CD may have some problems. As I don't have an Intel Mac handy, I don't know if you can rerun Boot Camp to generate a new driver CD, but that may be your best bet. By the way, I use CD-RWs for this sort of thing so if I goof, I don't waste a recordable disc. Anyway, give it a try and see if you can get a new driver disc to work.
