[QUOTE="fifthmanstandin, post: 349015, member: 28508"] Thanks for you help, I tried creating a drivers disc from the bootcamp assistand and he tried it on his, It got halfway and gave a fatal error message and then when you hit ok, it quits the install wizard. XP will now somehow read his graphics card but none of the other drivers. Any ideas? Now I don't know much about Macs or how to re-format them, but do I have to a have a boot disc that's the same as the current version of OS X (10.4.8) that he has? Because we tried to re-format the hardrive using his friend's OS X 10.1.2, or whatever, disc that came with his friend's new macbook. We popped it in and held c, tried to get it to reformat it and for some reason it said it wouldn't do reformat and to restart the computer. We tried it 3 times and got nothing. The mac is second hand like I said, so when we got it we had to create a new admin password and all. So is there a possibility that some sort of admin access is limiiting him from installing the drivers? Edit/Delete Message [/QUOTE]
