To all MacBook, MacBook Pro users!!!

ATTENTION!
If you EVER have trouble installing Windows on your MB or MBP when you see a BLACK SCREEN WITH BLINKING CURSOR and NOTHING ELSE and cannot initiate XP32, XP64, Vista 32, or Vista 64, it is because you NEED TO DO A HARD RESET of your laptop!!!

I have seen this happen second time in my two days long career into bootcamping and Mac defiling...

Essentially, when you PULL the plug and TAKE out the battery and PRESS the power button trying to start the computer, it will drain a special circuit (forgot what it was called) and reset whatever it is and the next time when you still go and reboot into the installation media (whatever it is...) it WILL NO LONGER GIVE YOU THE BSOD (black screen of death)... and allow the BLUE screen of XP install or Vista install to continue!!!

BE WARNED... out of the 3 Apple laptop I have seen, I see this happen to TWO of them already. So, if you run into the exact same problem, this will MOST LIKELY resolve your issue.

Cheers... Hope you can enjoy XP :P hahahaha
