Installing XP on Macbook

jasper371 · 03-12-2012, 04:41 PM

Alright, I need a little help.

I'm installing Windows XP sp2 on my Macbook 5.2. The Mac has Leopard 10.5 on it. I've created a 7gb partition and I have successfully installed XP on it, but I just figured out that it's impossible to find the XP drivers for this thing.

What should I do?

I was thinking about buying a Snow Leopard disc, updating the Mac's OS, and then trying again, but I'm not sure if the 10.6 install disc has the XP drivers on it. Any ideas?

Or, is there an obvious place to find the drivers I need, and I'm just a derp?

The drivers are on the OSX disk, yes.

I guess I'll just buy Snow Leopard and hope for the best.

If this works, I won't have to get a new laptop.

Don't do that, they have it on their website now.

Too late son.

I already tried installing Bootcamp 2.1 on the Windows XP partition as well. It worked, but it didn't give me **** for drivers even though there were a bunch in the folder.

Even if Snow Leopard doesn't work, at least I can use the disk for re-formatting.

There's a package of drivers on there specifically for XP. :shrug:
