Guys, no matter what I do, Windows XP on my Mac Pro's Boot Camp partition won't complete its install.

Every time I attempt the process, it claims that I need to delete four additional megabytes of files. No matter what I delete and how much space I have (the last time I tried, I had over 28 gigabytes free), the error appears.

How do I get around this in order to install Service Pack 3 and just get on with using the partition? I'm happy to nuke the partition and start over again, but I just did this and am still getting the problem.

Any help would be appreciated and thank you.

Chris

I was having the same issue. Found an article on a windows forum and it said I need to install the 2.1 update for BootCamp. Updated BootCamp and SP3 installed with no problem.
