If You Have Problems Installing the Device Drivers

repairing them.

To repair Boot Camp drivers:

1

Start up your computer in Windows.

2

Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.

3

If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer

and double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.

4

Click Repair and follow the onscreen instructions.

If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows
Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.

If you need to reinstall specific drivers, you can install one driver at a time. For example,
if your built-in iSight camera isn’t working, you can reinstall just the iSight driver.

Individual drivers are in the Drivers folder on the Mac OS X installation disc.

To reinstall a specific driver:

1

Insert your Mac OS X installation disc.

2

Quit AutoRun if it opens.

3

Using Windows Explorer, locate the driver that you want to reinstall.

4

Open the driver to start the installation.

Starting Up Using Mac OS X or Windows

After you’ve installed Windows and the Boot Camp drivers, you can start using
Windows on your Mac. Boot Camp makes it easy to start up your computer using
either Mac OS X or Windows. You can set the default operating system for your
computer using Startup Disk preferences (Mac OS X) or the Boot Camp control panel
(Windows). You can also select an operating system as your computer is starting up.
