BootCamp : Window 7

[[Chris]]

So, im trying to bootcamp Windows 7. I have all the partitons right.

Its when i come to install W7 - It tells me that theres no drivers.. During installation. Now, i know it works for a fact because i've had the same ISO running on Parallels. So.. Does anyone have any idea at all..

This is just after i choose the time/date/language options.

I installed the 32bit edition of Windows 7 on my late 2008 Aluminum iMac. Only thing I really had to do was format the BOOTCAMP drive NTFS during installation.

You're going to have to be more descriptive here I think. It must have said more than just, "no drivers detected". To begin the installation you must insert the installation media within OSX and hit "start installation" within bootcamp assistant, then allow that to boot into Windows installation. You did that, right?

Right i

1 Made a partition
2 Burnt The ISO
3 Went Through The Assistant - Let it boot (Next step)
4 Booted W7
5 Clicked Install
6 Set Details (time ect)
7 --- Comes Up with INSTALL DRIVERS (From where..?) The OSX disk holds no answers..

There's some new drivers for windows 7 in the new snow leopard wwdc beta. These drivers have been leaked onto many torrent sites now ;) Try those.

You changed the file system on the partition to NTFS, right?

Is your Windows 7 installation 32bit or 64bit? Although your OS X installation is probably 64bit, if you don't install the 32bit Windows 7 on your Mac, you'll likely run into problems.

Anyways, if you are 32bit and this is happening then (I know you tried the OSX disk), if it allows you to select where to search for drivers they should be in cd:\Boot Camp\Drivers.

That wouldn't matter. It's compatible enough that it shouldn't be asking for drivers during installation anyways.

x64 works fine.
