APPLE Macbook error 2869 ¿error with new MAC OS X Leopard?

Question

ENGLISH
In the new aluminium Mackbook, when installing the drivers from disk MAC OS X for windows XP SP2, it always appears error 2869.
This error is unknown at Support service of APPLE 900 150 503 and also in every cities in Spain, and England, they don’t know what it is.
It seems to be that the partition doesn’t admit FAT 32 and for doing format NFTS from parallels we wouldn’t be able to edit windows files.
In a nutshell it is a chaos that APPLE cant support and either repair it; I still thinking that this things are why the market Share is of only 5%, even if they are trying to getting along with Microsoft
¿Does anyone have a better opinion about this? ¿could you help me?, even better, ¿could anyone help the futures unsuspecting people that buys a MAC to avoid having something that is incompatible?
thank you
SPANISH:
En el nuevo Macbook alumnio, instalando los drivers del disco Mac OS X para el windows XP SP2 aparece siempre el error 2869.
El motivo es desconocido en servicio técnico central de Apple 900 150 503 y también en Sevilla, Málaga y Madrid, no saben qué puede ser.
Parece ser que la partición ya no la admite en FAT 32 y de hacerla en formato NFTS desde el parallel no podría editar ficheros windows.
En fin, un caos que Apple no ha resuelto; sigo pensando que éstas son las cosas por las que su cuota de mercado es de sólo un 5% , a pesar de intentar compatibilizarse con Microsoft.
¿Alguién tiene mejor opinión sobre este asunto? ¿ me puede ayudar? , Mejor aún, ¿puede alguien ayudar a los futuros incautos que compren un Mac para evitar tener algo que dice es compatible y en realidad no lo es?.
gracias

Dear Doug,
Thank you for your post.
Here you have the answers you ask:
1.- ...error is appearing. Mac OS X?
Yes that error appears just when installing the drivers required from Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
2.-......when you're running Windows?
No, windows runs ok. I insist that the error message appears when installing drivers required form Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.
3.-...contact support yet?
Yes, on Spanish Central support Tph:([phone] (from Spain), Local support ( UK ....Madrid, Seville, Malaga...Spain).
4.-... Are you using parallels?
No.
5.-....Apple's Boot Camp?
Yes.
This is my advise, from my dissapointed experience, for MAC newbies and experienced users, "from user-to-user" , when I tried to run my Windows XP in a New Macbook, using boot camp, IT was - is INCOMPATIBLE, and Apple Support doesn't gave me a solution yet!!!!!
Time consuming !!!!
money wasted !!!!
likewise..Thank you Doug
