[QUOTE="bblewitt, post: 914548, member: 72381"] Hey everyone, Here's the deal - I can't get the Mac drivers to load on XP using boot camp. Here is what I've done: Loaded XP onto my Macbook using boot camp (I am running snow leopard). After loading XP, I inserted my Mac installation Disc 1 to load the Mac drivers onto XP, and received an error saying that I needed a Windows Installer upgrade (i.e., I was running XP service pack 1). Also tried using my Snow Leopard installation disc and received the same error. I downloaded service pack 2 on the Mac partition, copied it to a USB stick, tried installing it in XP and received the error that there was not enough disc space, and I needed to clear 4 megabytes on my hard drive and retry (which I tried, and received the same error). I then tried uploading bootcamp 2.1 onto XP, because I heard that would alleviate the "lacking 4 megabytes of space" issue, but also received an error that there was not enough disc space to even load bootcamp 2.1 (this is an invalid error, because I have partitioned 20 GB to XP, so there is plenty of space). In short, I need the Mac drivers on XP, but cannot load them because I don't have SP2, and I can't get SP2 because I don't have the internet on the XP side to download it, and I don't have the internet to download it because I cannot install the drivers (with airport) on XP. It's a viscious circle and I'm not sure how to get out of it. Any suggestions? Thank you kindly for your help. Brian [/QUOTE]
