I finally managed to install windows XP on my MacBook, but I missed the first step of "Burning the drivers to disk", so windows won't connect to the internet etc etc. I can't uninstall Boot Camp so I can start over and burn the drivers this time. Can anyone help???:Shouting:

Boot Camp is not an app you can uninstall, is just an assistant that makes the partition and helps you install Windows.

You need to got to Boot Camp assistant, select the Windows partition and delete it. then you can start the whole process again.

PS: i never installed windows or used bootcamp on my mac so im not familiar with the whole process, maybe someone can tell you more about the drivers.

The burning drivers to disc step is no longer a part of Boot Camp. The drivers are available on the recovery disc or the Leopard retail disc.

Thanks guys,
The outstanding issue for me though, is that I don't have the Leopard CD... My hard drive died, and when I got my computer back with the new hard drive they had installed Leopard on to it for me but didn't supply the disk...

The drivers are available for download. You should be able to find them on a torrent site.

I have done the same installs (via Fusion), and I hear you on the "how much I have learned" thing! lol
