[QUOTE="chscag, post: 926378, member: 46727"] It looks like just about every driver you need has not been installed. Let's start at square one: Is the version of XP you installed compatible with Boot Camp? In other words, is it a genuine MS boxed full install version of Home\Pro SP2 or SP3, or a System Builders OEM full install version of Home\Pro SP2 or SP3? If it's an eligible version, there's no reason the drivers are not being installed provided you're using the correct install DVD for your machine. To answer your other question... Later model MacBook and MBP install disks had different drivers according to the hardware on the machine. For example my April 2008 MacBook Leopard install DVD does not contain the necessary drivers for the later model MacBook with the nVidia chipset. However, the Boot Camp 2.1 update for XP does contain those drivers. Regards. [/QUOTE]
