Boot Camp Problems

[jpdbaugh]

Hey, I am trying to put a Windows XP partition on my Macbook but I have run into some problems. Windows installed fine but when I tried to use the Mac Driver Disc Windows says that my Windows Installation Wrapper Driver is out of date and asks me to update. I can't update it because the airport and ethernet drivers for my macbook arent installed. Any ideas?

Download the latest drivers with the Mac and install them on Windows.

Where can you download windows updates besides windows updater?

i would think apples site would have the newer drivers for your comp

Just checking, is your XP install disc SP2? You might try reburning the driver CD, or have the Boot Camp installer copy the drivers to a flash drive instead. I don't think it's related, but you could also try updating the Windows Installer first.

Unless someone found a way around it, you'll probably want to eventually get the entire Boot Camp drivers installed. But you can get internet access going by just installing the Yukon or Atheros drivers (if they haven't changed chipsets on the Macbooks).

If you had Parallels you could just create a Windows XP VM and run Visual Studio in that.

Can I download Parallels off of the net. Yes I know it costs money and I want to pay for it, I just dont wanna wait for it be shipped via snail mail.
