Help With Boot Camp and New MacBook Pro's

[vargsguy]

I am sure that this has been brought up before but I can't seem to find a straightforward answer to what I need to know. First off I bought a macbook pro about 5 months ago in July and it didn't come with CDs. I understand from reading other posts that this is now the case; that they don't send them out any more with the new Macbooks. So now I have installed Windows 7 on a separate partition but can't install the drivers for networking because I don't have a CD to do so. Is there someone out there that can give me detailed directions to either make a copy of the cd somehow? (I'm not asking how to burn a CD here, I just need to know where to get the files from to copy over) Or another way to obtain the drivers with details on how to do so? Thanks in advance for any help or advice you can offer.

Btw, plural's really don't need apostrophe's.

I've seen that before, but the only thing I'm seeing that suggests anything in there pertaining to my situation is this:

12. Which drivers are included with the OS X Lion Windows support software (drivers) download?

The Mac OS X Lion Boot Camp Software includes these Mac drivers for Windows:

Apple Bluetooth
Apple Keyboard Support
Apple Remote Driver
Apple Trackpad
Atheros 802.11 Wireless
ATI Graphics
Boot Camp control panel for Microsoft Windows
Boot Camp System Task Notification item (System Tray)
Broadcom Wireless
Intel Chipset Software
Intel Integrated Graphics
iSight Camera
Marvel Yukon Ethernet
nVidia Graphics
Cirrus Logic Audio
Realtek Audio
SigmaTel Audio
Startup Disk control panel for Microsoft Windows

That's fine and dandy but Where can I Download the "OS X Lion Windows support software (drivers) download"?

Doesn't Boot Camp Assistant offer you to download the drivers?

Check out this FAQ, its for the macbook air but shows you how to download the drivers and should be the same for the pro http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4407

This sounds about right, when I made my partition, I let BootCamp Assistant download the drivers and saved them to an external drive. Then just run the setup.exe while on Windows.
