Problems. I just tried installing Windows Vista with Bootcamp. I made my partition too small so I had to get back to OSX to repartition. But I couldn't eject disk... Finally figured that one out, but now when it starts I get a no bootable device message. I tried re-starting by holding the alt/option button and by holding the x button... as I've read about on this forum. But I still get the no bootable drive message.

Please help!!!

Sounds like you forgot to format your Window partition...

Holding down just option should prompt you to either go back to Mac OS or boot from the Windows CD again.

Actually I did remember. The problem was that the batteries were dead in my keyboard. I have now installed Windows... But after installing the Mac drivers I now have a new problem... Windows will not recognize my wireless keyboard or mouse!

Any ideas???
