I'm installing XP, but Lion only has Windows drivers for 7. I have been searching online for about an hour now with no luck, other than results for things I don't trust like torrents and pirate bay. I think it's pretty ridiculous that Apple doesn't at least host this on their website any more. All I could find there was updates for 3.1 and up, but when I try to use them to install in XP it tells me I need the next version down.

I know using XP is lame, but it's all I have and I don't want to shell out $120 to get 7 for a couple of small programs I need outside of OSX.

If anyone can help, I would really appreciate it.

THanks.

Do you have a Leopard or Snow Leopard DVD? The XP drivers are on both. However, I don't know if the Boot Camp assistant from Lion will even allow it to install.

Why don't you run XP in a VM? VirtualBox from Oracle is free and will run XP very well. No drivers needed.

I'll probably do that for now, but I would prefer to have it running on a partition just in case I want to run a game or something.

It's just annoying that Apple has seemingly dropped support for XP when tons of people still use it, especially those of us who switching from Windows back when XP was still the primary OS from Microsoft.
