Has any one tried with XP Home?

I used XP Home, and it worked with my Mac mini (dual core), as shown in my camera snapshot (sorry for the really poor quality)

I have tried twice with no luck. I am using a mac mini 1.66 duo. I get the loader and then it goes to a black screen that reads out som ebios stuff and then hangs. I tried the wait three minutes thing and still no luck. Any suggestions?

For a better quality picture you could have pressed print screen, which should be like F15 on the Mac keyboard... or you could have gotten a snapshot taking program... Hmm...

This project looks interesting.. I can't wait to get my Macbook Pro so I can try it out. Would it work with a Windows XP Pro Corporate install CD? That's what I have.

have you tried pressing something on the keyboard? for some reason, my mini would wait to boot frm the cd until i push some key on my keyboard, then it starts to load everything.

Thanks for the suggestions. I changed to an XP Pro install and it is working now.

Maybe I am missing something really easy, I don't know that much about what I am doing, but every time I get to the installer page, it asks me to insert the CD labeled XP Professional ... All I have is XP home, and it doesn't seem to like the CD I created using that.
