Hey Orin,
I had this problem myself, although it was a while back so my memory is a
bit rusty. As far as I recall, David's way of getting you back in to
Leopard worked fine. Then I had to relaunch boot camp and go through the
wizzard again, start the windows instalation again from scratch.
What caused this error for me was choosing the option to not modify the
format of my boot camp partition, the exact wording escapes me but it can be
found in the part of the instalation where you select whether to format as
fat32 or ntfs. Basically, to fix it, I had to format the partition, and
either file system should work. I chose fat32 so that Leopard could write
to the Windows partition if I needed it too.
This was using XP Pro SP2, so if thats what you're using and you chose to
leave the boot camp file format untouched it might be where you're going
wrong.

Subject: Major Problem with Boot Camp
Hi all,
I've just installed windows, it started the instilation. Restarted, I had to
configure some stuff, it loaded files it was going smoothley, untill...
It restarts and comes up with:
Booting from cd...
Disc Error - Press any Key to continue.
Or at least that's the start of it. Now of course when it boots up it no
longer boots up into OS10, I have to turn it on and off and well it won't
really do anything. Wonder why it's got trouble booting from the CD? Now I
don't even know how to remove the disc from the IMac, as it's a disc slot.
Just wondering how to proceed with the instilation?
Thanks.
