I'm trying to load Windows XP (shudder) SP2 onto my new Mac Mini (Leopard OSX) through bootcamp and it gets as far as the initial phase then pops up a blank black screen with the notation "disk error press any key to restart". Windows being windows, no key has any effect. I wouldn't bother but I need it to log onto the site I work with- how do I get past this hurdle? Is the XP disc cactus? It's the second one I've tried- it's an OEM one so it should be OK.

BTW- could it be due to me using a non-genuine cordless keyboard? Do you require a cabled keyboard to successfully run bootcamp/load windows?
