Boot camp problem - Where can I get the mac XP drivers for a manual driver install ?

Hi, I have installed the "Boot camp" for a friend of min hon is MacBook
Pro.. problem is that the mac drivers installation fails in XP... So I
would like to install them manually but the cd we made on the mac don't
contain the drivers apart from within that one selfinstalling
software..

So are there anywhere we can get the xp drivers and install them one by
one ??? Sound, net, etc ??

Thanks !

 

It would make more sense, IMO, to run Boot Camp Assistant again and
burn another driver CD.....

Not really, the cd we made from boot camp is just fine... Problem is it
has all the drives in one big auto-install program. I want to install
the seperate drivers manually.

That ain't the way it works.....and if the CD was "just fine" you
wouldn't be having the problem. You can choose which drivers to install
from the CD or let it install them all....

It seems reasonable to do the obvious before looking for complex
solutions to such a problem. FWIW, I had to "reburn" my driver CD in
order to get one that worked properly......

That ain't the way it works.....and if the CD was "just fine" you

1. Either the archive works or it don't .. and it DO..
2. If can do a manuall install problem is solved.. these packages that
installes a bunch of drivers often fails.
3. If you cant provide me with what I ask for.. why bother posting at
all ?
4. The drivers we have does NOT provide any option where I can select
what I want to instal,..

The clue is that these installers often fails due to thousands of
reasons.. using the hardware manager in windows and installing the
driver from there is the most failsafe option of all..

If it doesn't install, how do you know that it works?

 

If it didn't install, then it "DON'T".....

Boot Camp's works fine - I've done over a dozen installs.....

I gave you the answer - if you don't like it or won't take the advice,
that's your problem......

Study your menus and options more carefully - you might learn something.....

That's your opinion, to which you are entitled - but the Boot Camp
installer works fine. If yours doesn't, look to a sensible solution,
i.e., reburn the CD and/or reinstall.....

You must be one of the most intelligent persons on the usenet "boot
camp works fine"... so what you hare saying is that software tested ok
on one system.. "works fine" on all systems... ? Idiot...

Thanks for your attempt at rationality.....

One of these days, I have to learn to quit trying to help people who
ask for help in these venues. They only want validation of their
preconceived notions and don't really want help.

It's the greatest failing of these venues - lack of both civility and
rationality.....

There are no problems with the cd first created !!! And you don't get
the consequence of what that means.

That's it end of story.. won't waste my time here..

I haven't "punished" anyone - but I remain convinced that most who post
are just looking for a chance to take a whack at someone. Hiding behind
a monitor tends to allow one to be very brave while typing with one
hand.....

Personally, I don't look for "solutions" on Usenet - it's better to
seek out a legitimate professional and deal with him/her
face-to-face......

I browse through this group looking for useful information - there
isn't much of that to be found, either......
