[QUOTE="Kash, post: 355767, member: 23444"] It's not that simple. You can't just simply stick the Windows CD in and have it install. Macs use something called EFI. Think of it as another version of a BIOS. The problem is that Windows XP won't boot on a machine with EFI, only a BIOS. So you need a program that allows you to install Windows on an EFI machine, which in this case would be Boot Camp. Getting drivers is easy. The Boot Camp Assistant creates a driver disc that you install after installing Windows. You can use these drivers once you install Windows on your Mac. [/QUOTE]
