As you would probably know, Boot Camp Assistant enables installation of and execution of Windows XP on Apple Mac machines. You can use this application to install hardware drivers. It allows users to copy Mac drivers on a CD and install them for use on Windows XP. These drivers allow users to use Mac built in function on Windows XP, such as Graphics, USB, audio, bluetooth and ethernet. Boot Camp requires system software updates to install updated drivers. However, sometimes you may get a Blue Screen (Microsoft trademark of serious issues) and you may not be able to update the drivers. If you encounter such issue, follow the steps below to resolve the issue at hand.

  1. Restart Windows XP
  2. Tap the F8 key on the keyboard while the computer is booting up
  3. It will take you to Windows Startup Options screen
  4. From this screen, select “Last Known Good Configuration” and press “Enter”
  5. Select the Operating System that you want to boot into
  6. It should take you to the Desktop screen of Windows XP
  7. Restart the computer again in Normal mode
  8. Now reinstall drivers from the Mac Drivers disk.

Please note that these steps have been tested only on Boot Camp 1.1.2
