[QUOTE="mrplow, post: 659905, member: 38928"] Have you applied the Apple [URL="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/bootcampupdate21forwindowsxp.html"]bootcamp update for SP3[/URL]? It's a pre-requisite before you install xpsp3. In this instance it's not a FAT32 issue. I've used both the online and standalone updates without issue on FAT32 based installations. If this doesn't work it could be to do with your boot directory setting in the XP registry it's a problem that several people are reporting: As with any registry 'tweak' backup first etc etc. 1. Click Start - Run - Type “regedit” and press enter. 2. Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup] HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \Software \Microsoft \Windows \CurrentVersion \Setup 3. In the right pane, Right-click and select New - String value 4. Name it as “BootDir” and set its value to “C:\” [/QUOTE]
