Tutorial for future reference (what I did): Go to bootcamp assistant and make your partition (some say after this go to disk utility And format it as MS DOS FAT32 I didnt) Put in your XP/Vista Disc and the Mac Will restart it will boot into the windows setup and choose your language and install. When you choose your partition make sure you choose the one marked bootcamp (You will know by the amount of GB you gave the partition) Otherwise you will need to use a recovery disc and phone APPLE. Choose your bootcamp partition and if it all goes well you will get an error : Wrong format. Just reformat it as NTFS and move on. When you restart make sure you don't press anything otherwise you will boot into the DVD instead of Hard disk. When it finishes installing go to your books entitled : Everything else and pop in the Recovery disc 1. (First you need to eject the Vista/XP disc by going into my computer following clicking on Drive and eject. You pop in the Disc and it will copy the drivers afterwards restart and it will boot into xp/vista once more. Finished. (I then went into bootcamp utility (icon on taskbar) And choose when restart Mac OS 10 Tiger/Leopard (I choose leopard but shouldn't case your using tiger) I made sure that it was always going to be set for Mac OS and if you ever need to boot into windows you just have to press the Option key when you first hear the chime. (Option key is ALT took me 2 hrs to find it)
