So on a newest style 13 inch macbook pro Im trying to duel boot with Windows XP SP3 so I can use it to play the odd game on as well.

So I use the Boot Camp Utility in OSX and partition the drive and tell it to install from CD. The mac reboots and starts to install and goes through all the usual parts of checking drivers etc. Then it hits the bit where it says Starting Windows XP then it just BSODs. Ive tried the following up to now:

Reset the PRAM & NVRAM using the Cmd + Option + P & R key, still the same issue. Then reset the BIOS as well using the Shift + Cmd + Option + Power Up Button, again the same issue.

So I decided to format OSX and reinstall, then tried to install Windows XP again and yet again the same problem. So got a different image of XP SP3 from my MSDN student area, then yet again same problem.

Just wondering if people think its going to be worth taking into the Apple store and asking for a hardware check over or anyone can think of anything else to try out. As much as Im not that bothered I just want it to work and Im determined to get it working.


Cheers people.
