Boot camp is built into Mac OS 10 (Leopard) and is free. If you're not on Leopard then you can download it from here You must login or register to view this content. (although I haven't and can't test this)

Bootcamp is the software that allows you to install Windows, you'll still need a copy of Windows with a license *ahem*

The Drivers are provided by Apple as it's there equipment and allow you to work on XP, Home, Professional SP2 (or later) and Vista.

Do you mean can you use a normal windows XP disc? Or do you mean the Service Packs? I would say yes for both.

I know what you mean. When you buy a computer they have a disc that allows you to put your computer back to its original state?

No it'll need to be a normal XP Disc. Those disks are either a tailored XP installation, but normally it's just a ghosted image disc.

You will need a standard copy of Windows XP. There's plenty of copies out on the net if you know what I mean Winky Winky

I have the orange box game for the computer when i install this i get the blue screen of hell after i restart. Why do i get this program i really like the game and i can't play it anymore because of this blue screen. Also this causes me to reset my computer back to factory settings i can't keep any data etc.

The Blue Screen you're refering to is a Blue Screen of Death and can be a nasty business. What you need to do is get the Blue Screen of Death to happen and write down what it says and then give me it. Sometimes it's best to rebuild the machine (Re-install Windows etc) when it gets that bad, but others it's changing a driver or something quite simple.
