    Ive used the search button, and still I dont get a direct link to where to download the drivers for the Windows XP

    I used bootcamp to partition the HDD, and installed windows xp sp2
    now when it starts on windows, it wont recognize my bluetooth, my ethernet, my wifi, basically: nothing

    since it was a openbox MBP it came with no cd's, so I was wondering if you guys could give me DIRECT LINKS to where to download the drivers.
    eg:
    www.macdrivers.com/wifidrivers.exe

    or something like that :D

    sorry, it's against the forum rules to discuss non-Apple OSes on Apple computers.

    Well, you're waaaay off there, my friend. It's not against the forum rules to talk about Windows on a Macbook Pro.

    To the OP: You've got two options: either buy Leopard, and the drivers are on the install DVD, or find your stuff on torrent sites - now THAT we can't talk about here.

    edit: or a third one: find somebody with a Leopard DVD who'd let you borrow it for a couple of minutes...
