First thing is make sure the system is free of malware (I have seen
many SP2 install failures because of malware)

Are you trying to do a complete wipe and install of windows xp onto your mac
or are you actually using one of the mac programs for installing windows
along with Mac OS X? If you are trying a fresh install, it may not work.
With boot camp for example, it requires you to burn a cd with all of the
drivers for windows to recognize all of the devices prior to installation of
windows. Best of luck to you.

7E errors are usually, but not always, driver related. A tact that you
might try: Reduce connected hardware to bare essentials during the XP
install. If successful, then start adding hardware back to the mix.

Contact Apple for help with BootCamp. The usual Windows answers for this
problem aren't going to be applicable because you are not doing a normal
clean install onto a PC.

I find that hard to believe. Since I use a MacBook I know that Apple has
excellent support, there are a lot of articles in the Apple Knowledge
Base about BootCamp, and there is a very active Apple users' forum.
There are also excellent users' forums/fixes at third-party websites
such as MacWindows.com, MacFixit.com, etc.

A forum is really not support cause no one is trained or taught or
dealt with all the problems involved

I was having the same issues or similar issues when I used bootcamp and tried
installing XP sp2. I am currently in the process of mirroring my hard drive
and wiping my mac so i can partician my hard drive and install both OS. This
is my second attempt at this. Mac doesn't have any support for their beta
testing Bootcamp. Their suggestions are very basic and even more frustrating
then going at this alone.
If you find a way to get this to work seamlessly. I would also like to know.

It would have been better for you to make a new post with all details
instead of tacking your new question onto this older, closed thread.

I have used Boot Camp on quite a few MacBooks lately and the process has
been easy and seamless. There is no need to wipe your Mac! But of course
there is no way for me to know what you've done or what problems you're
having. The basic process is:

1. If you wish, back up your OS X install onto an external hard drive.
Personally, I use the paid version of Super Duper and use a LaCie
firewire drive.

2. Download and install Boot Camp. Follow the Boot Camp Assistant to
make a partition for XP. The size you choose depends on what you plan to
do with XP. For the MacBooks I was doing (school laptop program), I made
a 32GB partition and formatted NTFS. There was no need to share files
between the two operating systems. If you have a need to do this and
don't want to transfer files with a USB drive or host them on a network
machine/drive, then make the partition for XP 30GB and format it FAT32.

3. Boot Camp will have you make a drivers CD for XP. Do this.

4. Continue to follow the Boot Camp Assistant and install XP. You need a
full version of XP to do this, not an upgrade. After XP is installed,
use the drivers CD you made.

5. After you are finished installing XP, there will be a Boot Camp
Assistant entry in XP programs. Use it to set your boot options such as
default OS, time to wait before choosing, etc.
