I want to install Windows XP through Boot Camp on to my MacBook. I have a Windows XP SP2 "reinstall disc" that came with my Dell PC. Will this disk work to install with Boot Camp? It does not contain the drivers that a normal XP disc would..But since you burn drivers through Boot Camp just for the Mac, I suppose it wouldn't matter...Anyways my ultimate question is can I install Windows XP through Boot Camp using the CDs that came with my Dell PC ("reinstallation discs")?

Not without doing a lot of geeky reworking. The Dell disc will check the hardware, and if it's not the original Dell, it won't install. There is apparently a way to create a "slip-stream" disc, though I have no experience doing so and wouldn't know where to start.
