Hi everyone! I bought an off-the-shelf Windows XP Professional Full SP2, and it installed onto my Macbook 1.83 Ghz without a hitch. I could boot into windows fine and use the keyboard and mouse BEFORE using the "Mac Driver CD" that the Boot Camp Assistant created. Does anyone know what I need to do differently?
I have tried a reinstall, but everything locks up at the exact same point: a window appears that says the drivers "do not pass Windows LOGO verification..." I don't think LOGO itself is the problem, but that is the prompt that appears when I can no longer use the keyboard or trackpad. I also cannot use an external USB keyboard or mouse. There is the option to "Continue Anyway" or "STOP installation," but I cannot pick either because no human interfacing devices work.
Should I just avoid the Mac Driver CD altogether? Thanks!

Per the Apple's directions, you should click the "Continue Anyway" option...

That's the problem; I can't! The built in trackpad doesn't work; neither does the keyboard. I also have another USB Wireless Keyboard & Mouse, but they do not work either. I think I'm going to have to try a good old-fashioned USB keyboard when I can get my hands on one. Thanks for the reply.

Indeed. You will need a regular wired USB mouse. However, after you get the drivers installed, you can remove the mouse.

Alright - things are working GREAT now! Thanks - Just have to get used to the whole control-shift-F10 right-click combination!
