    How to Install Windows XP on MacBook Pro

    I installed Windows XP Pro on a MacBook Pro, however, no drivers for network adapters and I cannot access the Internet after installing SP2 or latest drivers. How do I fix this problem? I'm using Bootcamp, this is a facility directly from the beginning. Please do not tell me to use Bootcamp if Don''t know how to solve this problem differently.

    What version of XP SP2 is installed? Be sure to read the Boot Camp instructions, for the versions of XP SP2 can be used. Very briefly - only a full install (no update) MS boxed version of XP SP2 or complete installation of system builders OEM XP SP2 CD can be used.

    If no drivers, then you can then use the Ethernet port. How, exactly, do you install Windows XP on there without BootCamp? If the hack going around the Internet, I suggest to reformat the disk and use BootCamp - thus, will be supported by Apple for most all hardware drivers.

    If the disc authenticated with Microsoft (Windows Genuine Advantage Validation), then it must be a valid disk XP Pro SP2. However, if you have another that you know is equally good, try using it.

    It might be better to start over completely: boot OS X, run Boot Camp Assistant, once again, select Edit, select Delete Partition. Restart the machine and start again. Let us know.
