Ok here is what happened.
I just got home with my ladies 15 inch macbook pro.
I have used time machine restore to bring over my info and stuff from my macbook pro 17.
I then am running boot camp, installing windows and then running the bootcamp drivers off of the leopard dvd that i bought when leopard came out.
It starts to install, then gives me the BSOD and reboots.
Any thoughts?

Was the Windows you installed XP SP2 or Vista? You can't use standard XP with BC. It must be SP2.

it is xp service pack 2.
i did the same install on my other macbook pro.
I am thinking it is the version of leopard that I have.
I am going to try the disks that came with the new machine in regards to the Bootcamp drivers.

Correct. New and updated drivers to correspond with the new architecture of the hardware

i have the exact same problems. i have to install bootcamp for someone on their new macbookpro but i do not have the dvd of that macbook, i have an older leopard and it gives blue screens and does not install most of the drivers. it would take another 2/3 days extra to give the laptop back if i need to get the cd from that person so do you know where i could find those drivers to download?
