I have loaded the OS Leopard, Bootcamp and WindowsXP. However, I cannot figure out how to load the Windows Drivers. I have a separate disk for that. I do not have the Beta version of Bootcamp loaded. When I double click the Windows partition from Bootcamp, I get a black screen that says "error loading disk". Anyone know whats up or have suggestions?

Erh... You have a different disk for BootCamp drivers? Then it _is_ from the BootCamp beta. Any BootCamp 2.0 (Leopard) drivers so far only come on the original Leopard DVD. So you do the following:
Install Mac OS X 10.5.
Start BootCamp Assistant.
Partition the drive.
Install Windows XP.
Boot into Windows XP.
Enter the Leopard DVD.
Drivers are installed.
Install Mac OS X 10.5.
Start BootCamp Assistant.
Partition the drive.
Install Windows XP.
Boot into Windows XP.
Enter the Leopard DVD.
Drivers are installed.

Hi,
I'm in vacation for a while and I don't have my Leopar
d DVD with me but I need absolutely to install Windows XP with Bootcamp. Everything worked well but I now need the drivers...does anybody knows where I could fin them or simply where I can find the actual models of the hardwares that need drivers (most importantly the ethernet) ?
That would allow me to go on the website of the manufacturers and download the drivers...
Otherwise I would have to pay $129 for another Leopard....and by the way what a poor service, I just spent $3 000 on a Macbook Pro and the guys at the Apple store wouldn't even lend me for a few minutes a Leopard DVD so that I can load my drivers...they said that they couldn't provide support for Windows XP...let's say that my first experience with a Mac is rather deceiving...
their corporate culture is more important than helping another human being it seems...
