I've installed Windows 7 using Bootcamp before a few years ago. Something about the install has changed since then and I cannot find a way to get around this problem. I am trying to install Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro. I have the installation CD. When I partition the HD and the computer restarts it goes into a Windows 7 install screen. the first thing that pops up is a notice saying I need to install the drivers. However, the eject button will not work so that I can put the snow leopard CD in. I have also tried to download the drivers and I put them onto my external HD and when I tried to select the folder from the browse menu, it wouldn't recognize them. How on earth do I get the drivers onto this computer?
Got a tip for us?

Yay I was able to eject using a USB wired mouse. However when I put the CD in and selected the CD the installer came back with a window saying that no usable drivers were found. Also i'm not sure how to post pictures of the windows that are coming up...I feel like that would be helpful towards a solution if i could post what the window i'm stuck on looks like.
correction- The CD i'm talking about is the Snow Leopard install CD

You could try using the Snipping Tool http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/snipping-tool to get the screen grab.

figured out the problem. Microsoft sold me a corrupt copy of Windows 7. They mailed me a free replacement that worked fine
