Ive been through A LOT of forums and havent seen anyone with this problem when installing mac drivers on windows XP, i apologize if this problem has already been answered elsewhere...
Im running os X tiger on a Macbook and i managed to get a version of the Bootcamp beta from a friend, version 1.3. The whole installation goes fine from creating a drivers disc all the way till windows is installed without any problems. The problem occurs when i stick in the CD with the Mac drivers on it, the screen flashes black a few times then a couple of dialog boxes appear(behind the bootcamp driver installer screen so i cant read them) and the keyboard and trackpad quit qorking entirely. Not only that but i use a USB mouse and that quits working as well(mouse made by microsoft). Not even the Caps lock or Num lock lights will come on once this happens. Even when restarting windows it stays the same but works fine before i try to install the mac drivers. when i switch back to OS X everything works normally.
Ive tried the entire process 3 different time with the same result, creating a new drivers cd every time, tried partitioning with 32gb, then with 20, then with 50 and no luck
and of course i need the drivers because windows wont pick up my network card or ethernet port so i cant even get online wireless or wired.
Please if anyone can help id be very grateful
