If I'm not mistaken, INTech had an article on this. Inside the article, I think the editor mentioned another program similar to BootCamp. Could anyone direct me to the relevant information?

Added: Thank you! Eithanius. This is what I was looking for!

hi guys... i just installed bootcamp and successfully installed XP Professional with Service Pack 2 last night.

Problem is: The Mac driver CD that i burnt before installing Win XP, doesn't work in XP... An error message pops up saying that the software is not compatible with WinXP.

Therefore, I can't copy all Mac drivers into XP.

What did i do wrong, and what should i do?

Thanks in advance...

Macs does Windows... not Windows does Mac

Therefore Windows files can work with Apple via Boot Camp but Macs files can't work with Windows.... wink.gif

Just go to Intel's website and download the hardware's driver from there or else you can try to burn it for the second time. BTW u use Windows for what? I can't find any reason for me to use Windows except to do Visual Basic Project tongue.gif
..and oh yes, AutoCAD when i'm in 1st and 2nd semester of my study tongue.gif

according to the bootcamp manual, you should be able to burn a CD of Macintosh drivers using Bootcamp, and then install these drivers in XP. I'll try again and let you guys know the outcome if u're interested.... smile.gif

Run bootcamp installation on your Mac OSX again, there should be an option to burn the driver CD, assuming that your 1st CD wasn't burnt correctly...

deadman... thanks for the reply. Yes, i ran bootcamp again and there is an option to burn a Mac drivers CD there. But when i ran the newly burnt CD in XP again, it still doesn't work and the same error msg pops up sad.gif

Then the last guess I'd give is that your Windows may not be the compatible version (I'm not sure if there's any...) for Bootcamp - assuming that your Mac is working all fine...

EDIT: Hang on, how did you say you were doing with the CD again? "Copy" the drivers over? Are you sure that's the way to do it?

I think the aplication wil automatically burn for you when you agree and choose to burn the drivers, right?

Remember you need at least WinXP SP2 (and WinVista) CD/DVD to install using the bootcamp. One more thing, I think if you can't use the driver CD, you can just simply go to Intel's website and download the driver from there. I use this way to install the display driver for WinXP in Mac (I'm using Parallels Desktop so there will be no driver provided)

Gudluck and Cheers.
