Hi! I just finished downloading windows 7 on my mac,
on my first start up, I popped in my mac os x disc that came with my imac.
and its supposed to download the drivers but its not!
when I click on setup.exe it has two options
Remote install mac os x (use this application to reinstall mac os x and other software on a mac without an optical drive. you can also use this application to open disk utility or apple hardware test on a mac without an optical drive)
&
DVD or CD sharing (install this software on this computer to allow users on your network to share the computer's dvd or cd drive)

what to do.
please help!
 
? I dont get your question.
I used bootcamp to install windows 7 on my 27 inch imac.
When installation was finished, following the manual, I put in my mac os x disc that came with my imac.
no options to update drivers.
 
This iMac is a mid 2010 model, came with snow leopard (upgraded to the latest version before installing win7)

And yes, I am booted into windows 7 and I put the disc in. and it says those two options.
 
those are updates!
It requires an earlier version of bootcamp!
unfortunatley, my mac doesnt have bootcamp O_O
 
Sometimes the installer doesn't see that you are on a Mac.

First. Make sure you are using the grey disc that came with your Mac. Especially for 2010 models you do NOT want to use a generic SL disc.

Then browse the disc in Windows Explorer to find BootCamp.msi or BootCamp64.msi and install that manually.
