Boot Camp + WinClone

I've wanted to install Windows XP on my macbook for a long time. I have the original macbook, so by now the internal CD drive has died completely. So I was deprived of XP for a very long time. Recently, my brother got the aluminum macbook (not the pro) and I was excited because I did some research and discovered WinClone. So, I finally got it working, but now when I boot into windows, no inputs seem to work. no trackpad, no keyboard, no USB. Is it a compatibility issue between my mac and his newer version? would it work if i used winclone on a white macbook? thanks.

Macbook, Mac OS X (10.5.8)

You've probably got the wrong drivers. Sounds to me like you cloned his install of Windows--is this right?

You'll need the original install discs for your computer. On a Windows machine with a working optical drive, you should be able to find the drivers and copy them to a flash drive, then use the flash drive to install the correct drivers on your machine.
