I just completed the BootCamp installation of Windows XP and it went well for the most part...but my Drivers CD isn't installing the USB or the Ethernet drivers.

Does anyone have these drivers I can download and install?? Its hard to do much without the ethernet driver.

Thanks

When you install the drivers from the MAC driver CD it extracts all the drivers to a folder in the Program Files folder.

I had the exact same problem. It was because I was not using WinXP SP2. You must use Service Pack 2. Otherwise the ATI driver is the only driver that will install. If you have an earlier version of WinXP, then you must slipstream SP2 into it. Here is a link that shows you how.

Once I did that, I had no problems. In fact, my MacBookPro is the best Windows machine I've ever owned!!! It is wicked fast.
