Running 10.5.8 on iMac. Got Boot Camp 2.0 to create the partition, got Windows XP (sp3) installed, now just need the drivers. I know I need the 2.1 drivers but when I tried to run the file I downloaded off the Apple page (Boot Camp - Windows XP Drivers Update 2.1) it told me the files were just an update and, essentially, that I needed 2.0 first. This seems to contradict:
'Note: This download contains complete copies of Boot Camp Windows XP Drivers (version 2.1). If you have Boot Camp drivers already installed, it will update them. If you do not have any Boot Camp drivers installed, it will install version 2.1 drivers onto your already installed Windows OS.'

I was originally trying the 64-bit version of CloudReady (since the Core 2 Duo in the MacBook 2,1 can do 64-bit), but when I didn't have success I also tried the 32-bit version (remembering that the EFI bootloader on this MacBook is 32 bit). That still didn't work, even while holding the option key and after clearing PRAM. Open Boot Camp Assistant, which is in the Utilities folder of your Applications folder. Follow the onscreen instructions. If you're asked to insert a USB drive, plug your USB flash drive into your Mac. Boot Camp Assistant will use it to create a bootable USB drive for Windows installation.
But who am I to argue? Or maybe I did it wrong? (download, put on flash drive, opened file in Windows by double-clicking) I don't have the original DVDs that came with the iMac. I called Apple and they can't send it to me. Jew suss rise and fall download torrent. I went to my local store's (Topanga, CA) genius bar and they don't have it. I called all the Los Angeles service providers on the list the genius bar gave me and no one caries it. Anyone know how/where I can get the 2.0 drivers?
Most importantly, I need whatever tells Windows how to access the internet via an ethernet cable. I just need the alphabet, arrows, numbers, and mouse. No special graphics, audio, camera, wi-fi, etc.
