I have been reading through the forums and from what I've seen, I have gathered that Windows XP should be compatible with Snow Leopard (10.6.8) and boot camp. However, when I have windows booted and I insert the Mac install disc to install the drivers, I get an error window telling me that Windows 7 is required. Help?
MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.8)
With Mac OS X Snow Leopard, you can install Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7, so open Apple menu > About this Mac, and check if you are really using Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
OS X Lion and Mountain Lion only supports Windows 7, so maybe you thought you were running Snow Leopard and you have Mountain Lion or Lion

I noticed that Early 2011 and newer MacBooks Pro can only use Windows 7, so if you have one of those computers, you can only use Windows 7 on Boot Camp. To install Windows XP, download Parallels, VMware Fusion or VirtualBox and install it on a virtual machine
Windows XP not supported on Snow Leopard?
