    I installed xp on my macbook pro through bootcamp, and it worked for a while, but then it crashed. I want to reinstall it. All I have is the original xp disk, I don't know if I need a special reinstallation disk. Also wanted to know if I should erase the xp partition through bootcamp and basically start over, or if I should just boot up the macbook with the xp disk inside and have the macbook start from the disk? Is there a going to be a problem reinstalling xp if I already registered it?

    thanks a lot

    Just run Boot Camp utility and start again, without partitioning your HD again.

    I think that's what I did when my Windows partitioning broke.
