Cannot load ati drivers on imac

Got a new imac 24" aluminum. Running Bootcamp, I have tried to download the ati drivers for the radeon 2600 graphics card in the machine, however the installation fails saying 'there is no supported graphics driver found'.

WHY doesn't the stock ati driver detect the card? (it is there obviously, and I am running winxp at the time). I thought that bootcamp emulated BIOS, but after that , the machine was a stock winxp installation. I don't understand why this fails.

Anyone able to update their drivers? I would like to access the catalyst control panel from xp, as well as keep my drivers fresh - especially important on a newer card like this one.
 
It probably fails because the card is the tiniest bit different (on purpose, probably). I'm not sure whether original graphics card firmware would make it accept ATi's original drivers or whether that would just hose the whole iMac. Right now, I'd just go with the drivers Apple supplies.
