Alum macbook driver cd?

[Pjoseph]

I recently installed windows xp using boot camp. I need to install the mac drivers now, but not sure where to find them.

Does the macbook come with a cd with the drivers?

if it does not what is the easiest way to get them, I need them on a cd since when i boot up in windows i can not connect to the internet which i am guessing is due to the missing drivers.

Thanks

Put in the Install DVD that came with your Mac (the gray ones).
The drivers are on there.

You can also download the drivers from the Apple downloads site.

They are also on the Snow leopard Upgrade DVD too

Ok so I tried both CD's mentioned above with no luck.

I tried to install the drivers both automatically and manually.

When i do it manually it says :
select the manufacturer and model of your hardware device and click next
this is for the cd drive driver.
How do i find out which one to select.

thanks

Do you want to to do this via the Hardware Manager?

As far as I know (and I only installed Windows five to six times on an Intel Mac), yo insert the DVD and then, if it does not autostart, go to the CD/DVD drive via Explorer (file manager) and start the setup yourself. That will take care of things.

To do that via Hardware Manager is a pain in the asymmetric photons.

Thanks for the reply.

I am guessing this gets done while in windows mode.

Yes, this gets done in Windows, as Mac OS X can't install Windows drivers onto Windows and vice versa.

I think it is DVD 1 (Mac OS X), but if not, you could try DVD 2 (Applications) to make sure.

I am begining to think that when running in windows that it can not even read the CD drive. I can see the CD but it can not find anything not sure what the problem is.

When i put the cd in running in mac mode it opens up with the install menu but not in windows.

i am thinking i may start the entire process again from the begining.

what is the easiest way to start this over do i need to unistall windows and delete the partion i created if yes how do i go about it.
thanks
