I have went from 10% faith in Windows to NONE! When I installed Windows in Boot Camp, it does not look like the sound, and WiFi drivers were not installed. Further more Windows will not read the DVD/CD ROM drive for me to install the drivers. Any help or suggestions?

Yeah the drivers are only installed from the OS X install CD/DVD, but if you can't get it to read that, that's no good. You might proceed to the 'Alternative Operating Systems' forum for more thoughts.

I've moved this thread there.
Are you using Windows XP SP2?

Are you using the built-in optical drive, or the external one that's in your sig?

...and OS X sees it fine? If so, you need to reinstall XP. When it replaced the installer's (very basic) CD driver with the GUI's driver, it goofed and it probably goofed up a lot more, too.
I'd very carefully, very thoroughly clean the XP disc before I tried reinstalling, too. The installer has almost no error detection, let alone error correction (especially using that "I'll work with any optical drive ever made" CD ROM driver), so you could have almost nothing really working for you and you would only know about it when you tried using the OS.
Another thing that helps sometimes is to copy your install disc and use the COPY to install from. For some reason disc copy programs manage to pull data off of CDs that current generation Macs' ultra high speed optical drives miss due to the tiniest scratch or smudge, so the burned copy works.
