Partitioned Mac Sound Card Problems new

Hi all, I have a Macbook pro which is partitioned to have 20Gbs of my hard drive to be windows. I am using a focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 as my sound card which works fine when booted with OSX but when i boot with windows XP SP3 i cannot get liquid saffire to be my soundcard, Therefore i cannot have any sound coming out of my Monitors. This also happened with an M-audio Project-Mix. Is there a fixable solution to this? Any Help would be much appreciated, Thank you

Have you installed the drivers for the Saffire under Windows?
Both OS's require the drivers in order to function.

Yes, i can get the saffire mix control panel up, and it shows that the hardware is detected. But when i try to select it as the audio output it is not possible.

I believe its something to do with the fact that the normal windows sound control panel is overrun by a Realtek Sound control which is installed by the OSX disk as part of the partition to get sound to work.
