Those of you using bootcamp......

So Im Installing windows on my macbook pro and it gets to the point where my mac has to restart before the setup can continue. It restarts to a black screen that says

Press any key to boot to cd...
NTLDR not found
Press ctrl+alt+delete to restart

If I press any key it just starts the install process over again and if i press ctrl alt delete nothing happens. Maybe thats because its a mac keyboard.

Ive installed bootcamp before and this never happened. Help plz!!!!!

    Yup its a blue screen with a yellow bar that loads and then it says it must restart to resume setup. Then the yellow bar turns red and it says the machine will restart in 10 seconds and then it does and then BAM black screen saying the ntldr wasnt found. WTTFF.

    ntldr is NT Loader, which is the main boot loader for all the Windows NT based OS's.  If I had to guess out of the blue, I'd say you had a scratch on the disc, possibly.  Or something that is otherwise preventing the install from transferring control over to ntldr.
