Mac Question - Dual Boot - COWASAKI WHERE ARE YOU

This has been niggling me for a couple of months now.

I had the previous version of the Mac Mini with 2.0ghz processor and 120Gb HDD and i dual booted OSX with XP by holding down the option key, then clicking the windows drive, 4-5 seconds later it rebooted and proceeded to boot from windows.

Then as they were released, the Nvidia Chipset upgrade made me buy the new mac mini, but this time i got the 320gb model.

Now when i click the windows drive, it just hangs for about 1 1/2 mins then reboots. I dont do it often as i have parallels and run the bootcamp volume from parallels, but there are times when i want / need to run it natively.

Has anyone got an idea to what causes the massive delay on the new mac, if so any help is appreciated.
 
I think it is just the mac complaining internally that it has got Windoze on it....

You think?????




Sorry have not got a clue, I have resisted the urge to do that so far... but then I do not have a need for any windows OS or software so in that respect I am lucky I suppose.

Hope you get it sorted...

Nigel
