hey guys, just got my 15"MPB and im trying to set up bootcamp using the assistant, its been a while since i have done a bootcamp installation as the last one i did was on my imac while it was still in beta, back then the assistant asked me to burn a CD with all the drivers on it so XP functioned properly, however this time (under leopard) it isnt giving me this option and when i installed windows a lot of the features/support didnt work, any idea?

im running a fully up to date (thought auto update) MBP 10.5.6 and installing a stripped down version of windows XP (the same but more recent version of the one i have on my imac)

That's because you already have all the current drivers on a disk.

Insert your Install Disk while you're running Windows.
