Can't Install Windows Program -PLEASE HELP

This is now my 3rd attempt at trying to install stupid Windows on my Mac (need for merchant account and quickbooks).
Anyway, I ordered Microsoft XP 2000 Home OEM. I actually go a link from a person on this board. I am a little concerned because the packaging and CD says 'to be distributed with a new PC'. It has been my problem that I have been using Free software and it won't take the Free version.
Okay, here is what I have done so far
1. Partitioned HD for Windows in Bootcamp
2. Inserted new Windows CD
3. Screen goes White(ish) and you here the Windows (bong).
4. CD ejects
5. Screen goes black and then you get a message that says 'no bootable device insert boot disk press any key)
6. Reinsert CD, nothing happens
Concern is there is some old Windows on this when I have tried to download in the past. I however cannot find anywhere and believe that I ahve removed everything. I did download a trial version of Parallels and tried to download another Windows version, but I removed everything from my computer that had to do with Paralles (or so I thought...even emptied trash).
So, I am DESPERATE!! PLEASE HELP
5. Insert

Here is where I am now...
I was able to remove Windows from Bootcamp.
I go through the set up again.
I get through everything and it says the computer will reboot and continue with setup.
During the reboot, the disk ejects, then I get a black screen that says Disk Error press any key. Nothing happens when you press a key and you have to manually shut down. When I reboot, I get two icons, MAC HD and Windows HD. Yet, nothing comes up when I click on Windows HD.
PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME. I have spent hours on this and I really don't think I am THAT stupid.
I know people don't get paid to help, but if someone could walk me through this. Mac won't help me.

Can't install 9.2 please help!!

I am trying to install 9.2 on a computer that was previously used for Linux. Here's the big problem. I can't find the hard disk.
There's no icon for it, so when I try to install to a destination drive, there's nothing. I did see a "network disk" choice in my startup disk control panel, but it doesn't do anything when I restart.
I'm really frustrated. Please help.
Thank you
I can see everything on the Install CD.
I also saw the hard drive info in Apple System Profiler

Hi, allano -
If that drive was last used for Linux, you will probably need to reformat (initialize) the drive so that OS 9 can use it. Note that doing this will erase the entire drive.
You can use OS 9's Drive Setup utility to do that, while booted to the OS 9 Install CD. You'll find Drive Setup in the Utilities folder on all OS 9 Install CDs.
In case you're not familiar with Drive Setup -

Can't install new software PLEASE HELP!!!

I recently had a need to reinstall the original 10.2.1 on my ibook g3. Since this time, i have been unable to install osx updates, or reinstall the original 10.2.1 software (after the first reinstall, that is) As well I cannot install other programs. I have used disk utility and everything seems to check out in first aid (permissions, etc.). I had been using 10.2.8 before the first reinstall.
the first time i reinstalled 10.2.1, i did not use disk utility, and iphoto and quicktime did not work (i did not notice this at first) Software restore cd's are also not working. They have actually crashed the computer every time.
when installing programs (stuffit, for example) i am being told that "disk copy helper" has encountered a problem.
when installing osx updates, i am being told that the installer has encountered an error.
when i try and reinstall from cd, midway through installation the screen goes black with small white text on the left that reads that i have encountered a serious error and must restart.
I will greatly appreciate any ideas, big or small!!!!
Sincerely

Welcome To Discussions Bregan8r!
-Why did you need to reinstall?
-Did you do an Erase & Install or an Archive & Install?
-What size is the Hard Drive, and how much space is available?
-How much RAM is installed, and is it original or added?
-You have run Repair Permissions, but have you also run Repair Disk?
-Do you have a complete backup of your system, or at least any data that you couldn't bear to lose?

Can't install quicktime 7 please help!

I installed the newest itune (7) yesterday and tried to install quicktime 7 on my g4 cube. I am running tiger and quicktime 7 will not install. It keeps saying try again later. I have repaired all permissions, restarted the computer, but still will not insatll. PLEASE HELP!

rather than running the Installation "online", try downloading and saving a copy of the installer to your hard drive (the desktop is a fine location) and then running the install from there by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe file.
Does that install go through any better?

Can't Install iTunes 10 Please Help!!!!

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I cannot install itunes 10 x64. Keep getting an error message saying bonjour services failed to start make sure you have sufficiant privelages. I have tried every fix i have seen including disabling my firewall and anti-virus, disabling bonjour service, uninstalling itunes and all traces of other programs, I have a Administrator account as well. I just purchased an iPad and have yet to be able to sync content from my itunes library becuase i cant install it. I am losing my mind over this and would very much appreciate any help. Very irritating having brand new iPad and not being able to sync. Thank you

hi, i am having a similar issue, i cant install itunes on my vista computer, it asks for admin perssions or sumthing, even though i am admin...anyway, they way i solved not being able to install through the itunes installer was, install itunes on another computer (has to be a windows based computer, doesnt matter what version or 64/32 bit) then copy the program files folder for itunes, ipod, and in common files under program files, the apple folder (it has the mobile device support, apple application support, etc) and put it all onto a usb, take it to the troublesome computer, close any itunes related services, and itunes of course (if the old version is still running) then copy it all back to program files. i know many people dont reccommend installing things this way, but this is an "uprade" not a fresh install, all the registry is written already.
i have tried this and it works exactly as it should, even though it was really cross platform, i have a triple boot xp(32bit)vista(32bit)and win7(64bit) i installed the new itunes on win7, then copied it over to xp and vista, despite the bit difference (b'cos itunes is only in 32-bit, the only 64-bit part of itunes is the installer) and it works fine still right now, ipod syncs, everything else works fine
hope this helps

Can't install Snow Leopard, please help

I just purchased a new SSD and put it into my MacBook Pro and am replacing my old HDD. I also just purchased Snow Peopard as I lost my original discs and can't see to even run the os install disk. When I power on my MBP it just stays at a blank white screen. I've tried booting holding the apt (option) key as well as the "c" key and nothing happens. I can hear it reading the disk.

Do you know what version of the OS shipped with your MacBook Pro? Or when you bought it?
Generally, you can't boot a Mac with a disk that has an older operating system than the one it shipped with.
As far as I know, the only retail Snow Leopard disks are 10.6.3, so if your Mac shipped with 10.6.4 or later, it won't boot with that disk.
If that is the case, you can contact AppleCare and you will likely be able to order the original disks that came with your Mac. I think they just charge for shipping.
10.6.4 shipped after about June of 2010.

Boot Camp won't let me remove my windows partition, please help

I am trying to remove my windows partition and boot camp won't let me. It gives me a message +" The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows."+ Please help!!!!!

Use the Disk Utility to delete it and resize the partition immediately above of it so it takes up the released space.

Hi, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please help.

Hello all, can I install windows XP with bootcamp on my iMac which is now on Maverick? Please advise. Thank you.

Install 7. Don't bother with applying drivers and such, just reboot again from DVD and install again, it will see the existing system and this time activation will be possible.
Vista is mess, takes longer etc. Hope you have SP1 version of 7. And for Vista, only SP2+ are even supported now, by MS.
