Boot Camp Issues

OK, i tried to install Boot Camp, and failed several times.  First, I  
tried to partition the second internal drive on my machine.  That  
failed with a 'could not move some files' error.

So, I cleared that drive of all files and tried again.  This time the  
partition worked, but when I rebooted off the windows disc, it would  
not install because it had to 'write startup files to the disk' and  
the disk was not the startup disk.

Fine, I rebooted back, removed the Boot Camp partition, and tried to  
partition the boot drive.  That failed, again because some files could  
not be moved (??).

OK, fin.  Trouble is that now, whenever the machine restarts, like for  
the recent QT update, I get a black screen with a 'no startup disk  
found' error.  I have to boot to the boot menu (which only shows one  
option) and then continue on to OS X.

So, my thinking is that something in the EFI is set to try to do a  
boot to a windows CD, but I can't seem to fix it.
