MacBookPro Clean Install of Vista or XP
Hello all! I am trying to get Windows XP to natively (No Boot Camp, XOM, Or parallel's) work on my MacBookPro and am wondering has anyone else done this?
Laptop:
MacBookPro 17"
CPU - T2600 @ 2.163GHz
Memory – 2 GB
HD – 100 GB
DVD-R/CDRW
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600
I have:
OS X Tiger
Windows Xp Upgrade
Windows Vista 32 Home Premium
I have installed Window's XP on my MacBookPro and am wondering if anyone else has done a Clean Window's XP with No Boot Camp ,XOM, Or parallel's yet?
(I actually installed Window's XP (upgrade) by inserting the disk into the MacBookPro and though I was unable to eject the disk when XP asked to validate an older full version of window's I plugged in an external (USB) DVD/CDRW with my Win 98 disk in it and voila it installed.)
After Windows XP Install I installed:
1 -"Inputremapper_1_0_04_release" - this fixed all the key mapping, fan control, screen lighting, and sound control.
2 - "Install Macintosh drivers for windows .exe" - but it really didn't do much that wasn't already done.
3- Window's Update.
This is what the device driver's look like now.

What are some other easy to use driver's I can install:
help
Is there a download site for them that anyone knows about for those drivers's? I don't know if they are protected or anything. A couple of device's are unknown which make's it fun for the whole family.
I have been searching for a thread covering the complete thing but haven't had any success yet.
I found this old post and it show's exactly what I am seeing on my end but doesn't show a solution. I sent an email to the blogger and am waiting for a response. 2 Weeks and counting.
