I have installed a gtx285 video card on my Mac Pro and all is fine, but I want to also run my windows xp installation on my Mac Pro (used Bootcamp) and I am not sure how to go about it.
The card is already in the machine but if I boot up in windows it will expect to see the old video card and may hang.
Can anyone please advise on how to get the drivers and card running in windows on my Mac?
Thanks.

Would safe booting in VGA mode work?
