I was able to get the setup going and select the correct partition. After the setup files are copied during the initial installation screen, the system reboots. I removed the CD and booted into the windows side. It comes up with an information screen with information such as No Floppy Image, No Media for the CDROMBoot, etc. The last entry is HDBoot: Found valid boot sector on partition #0. Booting...

At this point it hangs. if you press the enter key, it gives a Disk error, press any key to restart and then a series o characters in varous colors.

I have a 17" iMac with standard 512MB RAM and 160GB HD. I have used a 25GB partition for Windows.

When windows is done copying the file and you restart the system, press F2 , that will disable CD Boot and it will look at the MBR to boot from the hard drive.
