1119433 2010-07-16 10:24:00 OK, your explanation is not that clear.

If you have not started Windows setup, hold "D" when you power on the mac to boot from the CD.

If you have run the initial setup (from the disk) and are now on the first reboot part of setup, hold down "option" when you power on the mac and then select Bootcamp or Windows from the boot selection menu.

1119435 2010-07-16 21:02:00 So you have windows installed? but can't boot to it?

If this is the case,hold down option key when starting machine. this will bring up the boot screen
