Ok I'm new to Boot Camp and i successfully installed Windows XP Professional but when i put the leopard disk in it gets ready to update and says "Windows needs a newer version of Windows updater" well along those lines then when i click yes it says "Resource missing "UPDATE" " until i update the drivers i have no sound and can not connect to the internet. All help appreciated,Thank you.

It sounds like you may have installed a version of Windows XP that is not compatible with Boot Camp. Only a MS boxed copy full install version of XP SP2 Home or Pro, or a system builder's full install version of XP SP2 Home or Pro will work.

You can not use a copy of XP Pro SP1, restore version, branded OEM version, or a recovery set.

How do i tell, or is it definitely in need of a new XP disk?
Is there any way of updating it because i don't think i have the money to get a new one, if i am forced to get a new one how do i get rid of XP from the old partition?
Thank you for all your help.

Here you go, Windows XP: Slipstream Service Pack 3 into Your Windows XP Installation CD

That is a really good walk thru on how to slipstream SP3 into your XP Install.

My Mac can not burn CD's or DVD's and my Windows can not connect to the internet does it have to be on the Windows disk or could i get memory stick and manually install them if i download them on my Mac?

Nope. You need a XP Install disc with at least SP2 already on it.
If you are unable to do this, then I suggest you give this article to a friend who can, or go to a computer shop and get a disc from them. Many shops will sell you a burnt copy of the XP install disc, for a small fee, so long as you show them your valid XP license.
