my advice is to make sure that you disconnect all external devices before you get into the windows installer.
I had some issues when i had an external HDD plugged in.

the only real problem i've heard of is super slow sata performance in xp. i mean suuuuper slow. everyone's waiting on a fix from apple. hopefully it won't be too long. the only workaround so far is hooking up a pata drive.
