Installing drivers for Windows xp partition

[detherok]

i put the mac osx leopard cd to install the drivers, but it says i need a windows update because it was missing something.

so i downloaded a windows update on my ipod on my mac side and tried installing it .

then it told me in order to install the update i need the service pack 2 at least. so i down loaded service pack 2 and tried installing that. then it told me that i need 4 more megabytes to install service pack. and i deleted 50mega bytes and have 7.5 gigs of free space. and it just keeps telling me i need 4 more megabytes of free space.

i dont know what to do. why is it so trouble some to install these drivers? does anyone know what i am supposed to do?

To install xp using Leopard it must be XPsp2 at a minimum. You can 'slipstream' the sp2 update onto the copy you have using the info at http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp

ohh, so basically i need a windows with SP2 already? so after i slip stream the file into windows xp, i reinstall the windows on the other partion?


If i manage to find a windows xp cd with SP2 , i wont have to deal with slip stream right?

Yep, that is right. You need a version of xp already including sp2 - and if you can just get an XP SP2 disk that will be easier.
