Has anyone had any luck/even tried Boot camp on one of the new Penryn MBPs? I have it going, but whenever I try to run the driver install I get a blue screen of death when it attempts to do the wireless driver install. I reinstalled XP twice and I'm still getting the same result.
 
I have the same problem with vista on my penryn macbook pro... both the wifi and isight dont work>>> also the keyboard shortcuts dont work
 
i have feeeling you need to use the leopard cd that came with the not the retail leopard disk....... i have yet to try it because my disk is at home and im at college
 
I put in the recovery CD that comes with the laptop and it worked fine. Installed right away, no blue screen or anything.
Fatflock222: With the new MBP, it doesn't come with a Leopard disc like the last MBP model, it only comes with the recovery CDs now because it already has Leopard loaded on there when you get it.
 
I installed Vista via Boot Camp and it's working perfectly. I used the drivers that came with the recovery discs. Not any problems.
 
I also had no problems installing. Just use the recovery cd for drivers.
