Actually, it happened 30 minutes after installing! Good old Windows! True to form - even on Mac hardware!

It wasn't me - it was someone on another site.

Apparently, Windows installed fine and was running fine for 30 minutes until the user tried to browse available USB devices - then POW! BSOD!

The Apple drivers just add support for Mac hardware that isn't available on the usual PC installer, such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Graphics, the Eject key, sleep management, networking, audio and keyboard brightness controls.

The Apple supplied drivers also adds a 'Startup Disk' control panel to WinXP so that you can choose your Mac partitio to boot back into.
