So i have a mac and a while ago installed windows but a while after that the mac side started acting wierd and?

a little after that. y mac side did not want to do anything. It stays in the loading screen. It loads for hours but doesnt start. I can still go on my windows side no problem. I tried reinstalling with the CD but it gives an error and says it cant complete the installation. I am not sure if it is because windows is on it and i cant take it off. I have tried taking off windows from the windows side but i cant. I cant get to the mac side to do it so i am stuck. I have to try to take off windows on the windows side or figure out why i cant reinstall the CD. Please HELP!

Update:

I have tried that, and there is definitely enough space. I cant go on my mac side so i cant do anything on that side and ive tried inserting the CD or DVD and it starts to reinstall but then gives an error. I am not sure why.

    I am assuming you used the free Bootcamp software that came with MacOs X Leopard. The MacOs X software is on a DVD, not a CD, so it takes awhile to load. Insert the DVD, hold down the "C" key on a restart. That will start you up from the DVD. Then run the disk utility program and see what it says. It is in the utilities folder. You may have to reinstall the MacOs X system. You may have partitioned so much for Windows on the hard drive that there's not enough space for the Mac side. You may have to reformat and reinstall all your Mac software.
