Hello! I'm trying to install windows XP onto my MAC and the installation hangs at "Inspecting computers hardware configuration..." Has anyone else had this problem? Maybe a disc read error? Thanks in advance... Sorry if this has been asked before (Sure it has been).
 
What exact Mac are we talking about?

What version of Windows XP?
 
The new 2011 model. I just read a couple posts saying that you can run XP on the new macbook pros. Thats super lame.

There has to be away around this!? :/ I don't got a windows 7 product key and got no money ;(

Edited for spelling/grammar :p

Apple does not supply Vista/XP drivers for your computer, so... even if you COULD somehow get XP installed, you'd have to search for drivers yourself.
