Justin and I spent countless hours and 3+ Win XP/Boot Camp installs to finally get the drivers to work.

The drivers that boot camp provides on your OS X DVD don’t work with the new Aluminium unibody Macbook Pros, don’t install them!!!

Steps to success

  • Grab these drivers from Timur: Download Drivers
  • For bootcamp we did a 32Gig FAT, full (slow) formatting.
  • On the fresh install don’t let windows try to find your drivers for you. If it asks just hit cancel.
  • If your network connection isn’t working(very possible).
    • You can boot back into the mac (hold down option when the gray screen and sound plays for 10 secs)
    • Drag those unzipped boot camp drivers on to the drive that says ‘No Name’. Preferably onto your C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop or which ever user you are logging in as for Windows so you can spot it.
    • Reboot, (remember hold option for 10sec when gray screen appears), login and install those new drivers.
  • After your drivers have been installed you may upgrade and patch windows like mad:)
