Windows - drivers?

My friend just helped me install Windows on my macbook without Boot Camp. He first tried to install it with the file system FAT32, but there was a disk error. He then tried again selecting NTFS instead. Windows was installed but now the problem is that I have no drivers for what I want to do. I've looked on this forum and other forums for information on which drivers I should install, but I can't find anything that works.

HELP!

Why did your friend install Windows without Boot Camp? Did he wipe out OS X completely or did he use some partitioning utility to make a separate partition for Windows?

As for the drivers, if your system came with Leopard, then the drivers are on your recovery discs.

I realized that all I needed to do was put in my installation disk while I was running windows...
