[QUOTE="chaunce322, post: 731309, member: 36591"] I just picked up a new MBP, and I was able to get Windows XP installed...the same as I did on my iMac. However, when I insert the Leopard CD to install the drivers, I get the blue screen of death and the whole thing reboots, runs a scan disk, and then goes back to Windows. I can still switch back and forth between Windows and OSX, but while in Windows, I can't get on the internet or anything. I started with a 32 GB FAT32 partition, but I also tried: -removing the partition, reformatting in NTFS - same result -changing the size of the partition using both NTFS and FAT32 - same result -Using the MBP restore discs and the separate Leopard disc I have - same result And then I tried downloading the Bootcamp 2.1 update, but I can't get the executable to run in the XP environment. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm leaving for a business trip early next week, and I'd like to bring my MBP, but without Windows, that's a no-go. Any help would be much appreciated. Sean [/QUOTE]
