Please read the "Boot Camp" and "Switcher's Guide" stickies at the top of the forum. That will answer your questions.

Short answer: when in windows, insert your snow leopard disk and install the drivers on there. Then download and install the latest version of Boot Camp (3.2) from within Windows. That should do it.

Cheers

You can either boot back to OS X and eject the CD normally from there or open "My Computer" in XP and right click on the CD drive and select eject.
