I just installed Windows 7 on my MBP using Bootcamp and i cant get the drivers to install off my leapard cd whilst i am booted up in Windows it saying it need be Xp or Vista.

I am wanting to get my Trackpad to work correctly and my isight and what other drivers that are needed.

Can anyone advise please
 
Because Windows 7 is in beta stage, Apple won't have made any drivers for it yet
 
That is what I though but somewhere I cant remeber where said the drivers on the Apple DVD will work...

Never mind I can do most things anyway :)
 
I have just finished downloading it to check whether the photoshop scripts work with it. If I get it all working I will post a top tip on doing so

Now this be great :)

I have took it off mine at the moment till i get to know how to install it properly and get all drivers working...

My copy of Leopard DVD is what I bough from Apple Store it did not come with my MBP not sure if this makes any different.. The disc that comes with the MBP is Tiger

All my Apple computers came with Tiger and I use an upgrade to Leopard too.

I have 4 computers to re-install tomorrow :)..... I was going to stick it on a spare drive on the Mac pro and see what happens.... Todays top tip might help people too
 
Is it best to re-install then? As what I did I just ran Boot Camp Assistant and let it split my hd up and took it from there.. But I just cant install Boot Camp drivers within windows once it installed..

I have not even looked at it yet but I would start off with making a Vista drivers disk. You can book the windows 7 disk so I would try that. Installing Vista 64 sp1 and upgrading to windows 7 is another possibility.

I will have a mess tomorrow, just trying to get the EBS editor going with all the spangley new features you lot have been asking for :)
 
I dont even own Vista lol... That why I though I give windows 7 a try really hope you can get me going ;P
