not sure where to post this, but anyone have any problem with Boot Camp running WinXP on a Macbook?

i've tried installing & re-installing WinXP on my Macbook as the 1st 2 times it wasn't installed right. now it's all good, 'cept when i put in a CD/DVD with program files & installers inside, the drive reads it all as 1 audio file (this is regardless of how many different files there are on the disc or the fact that none of them are audio files).

but then when i boot back to Mac OSX, i can see the files in their original format (tho the Windows applications/files won't be able to execute) & the CD/DVD runs fine on my WinMCE05 PC.

anyone encountered this same problem?

Try burning the driver installation CD again, or use the Boot Camp Assistant and put all of the driver files onto a USB flash drive.  The first time I burned the CD it didn't work and my computer would hang trying to read it under XP.

A 512MB USB flash drive is enough for the drivers.
