When I was running sp3, I had installed bc2.1. I rolled back to sp2 and that did not fix my issue so I rolled back bc but don't think that will do it either. I am beginning to think that this has something to do with winders its self.

According to MacFixIt, Boot Camp 2.1 (in versions for both XP and Vista) is required before installing XP SP3. <begin excerpt> Thursday, April 24 2008 @ 04:20 PM PDT Boot Camp 2.1 released: supports Windows XP SP3 Earlier this week we noted that Microsoft Windows XP SP3 may introduce problems XP installations under Boot Camp. We've received reports of issues with beta developer builds, including an inability to boot. Apple has preempted these issues with the release of Boot Camp 2.1, which is required before installing Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3). The new release is also available in Windows Vista 32-bit and 64-bit. <end excerpt> The download link they give for the Boot Camp Update 2.1 for XP (215 MB) is: http://wsidecar.apple.com/cgi-bin/nph-reg3rdpty2.pl/product=18808&cat=1&platform=osx&method=sa/BCUpdateXP.exe In order to apply these updates, first boot into Boot Camp then download and run the Windows executables. David, there seem to be a lot of comments about things to do before applying the SP3 update, so I'll just ask whether you are running Boot Camp 2.1. If you aren't/weren't you may not want to immediately download and install it before checking out some of these additional advisories. Cheers, Esther >Now we are on track.
