I tried to install Windows XP today, big mistake...
I backup up everything first using Time Machine (so glad I did this bit).
Next I ran Boot Camp Assistant, it came to the partitioning stage. I have a 250Gb hard drive in my MacBook and told it to give a 20Gb partition to windows.
Creating Partitions... It crunched away at that for a few minutes. Then it happened. Kernal Panic The screen went dim and a grey box came up telling me to hold down the power button.
After rebooting by some miracle everything is still working. Except the second partition isn't there, and my main partition has 20Gb space less than it should, I'm guessing the space it should have given to windows.
But it won't re-partition. And when I try to run a repair in Disk ulitilty it says this:
Is there any other way i can try to repair it? Really really don't want the hassle of having to reformat...
I suppose this is what I deserve when I try and install windows on a Mac! I only wanted a few games
