When ever I try to install the drivers from the disc I burnt from the boot camp assistant, I get a message "This software does not support your hardware", so I have no internet, no graphics drivers, nothing in XP. Is anyone else having this problem?

Nevermind.... I found I had to burn the drivers CD with my MacBook, and could not use the CD burnt with my iMac... Go figure !
Anyway, move along people, nothing to see here

Boot Camp is smart enough to only provide the drivers for the hardware you have, not all hardware you might have. That's a big difference from the way Windows does things.

If you had downloaded the earlier version of Boot Camp version 1.0 Beta release on April 7, you will face the problem if you try to extract Windows drivers from MacBook 13".
Earlier models such as iMac, Macmini and MacBook Pro 15" works fine with the extraction of drivers.
You need to download the latest Boot Camp version 1.01 Beta release April 25, to extract Windows drivers from MacBook. By the way you do not need to upgrade any firmware on MacBook 13".
Since Apple did not support Boot Camp, the new release was not announced.
Hope this help. I found it the 'hard way'. Cheers

Welcome, and thanks for an excellent first post! This makes a lot of sense; beta software gets updated from time to time, and as it's beta, Apple wouldn't bother to let us know.
