Boot Camp Drivers for Windows XP

I recently bought a copy of XP SP2 for my MacBook Pro to do university work on it as it requires me to use a lot of software used by the uni. I installed Windows without any problems at all, until it came to the drivers. The problem is I have all my MacBook Pro stuff at home and not up here in uni with me, such as the Leopard DVD, etc... is there anyway possible to download or install the XP drivers some other way?

MacBook Pro 4.1, Windows XP Pro

Hi and welcome (back) to Discussions,

unfortunately the Leopard OSX DVD is the only source for BootCamp Drivers.

Even though there is an Update to Driver version 2.1, this update will only install if you have previously used the OSX DVD for driver installation.

Sorry to say so

Probably would not cost that much, and worth it to buy a copy of the latest Leopard DVD 10.5.4+ which has even newer Boot Camp drivers, some 2.0 but some 2.1 depending. And educational discount.
