Ok so here's what I did. I partitioned my hard drive to run Windows XP. I allocated 5 GB to the Windows portion. As I was about to install Windows, I as told I needed to back up my computer first. So I went to Time Machine to do it. But Time Machine told me that the only place I could back up to is BootCamp. So I did it, obviously a bad move because now I can't get to the proper screen to run bootcamp the way I need to install Windows. Please Help! I know I need to reformat it but I don't want to mess things up even more and I don't have access to a Mac store. Help!
