Mbp install win 7 no device driver found

[byair]

Hi,

When I reinstall Win 7 64bit to MacBook Pro via Bootcamp no device drivers were found.

2010 Mid MacBook Pro
Mac OS X 10.6.8
Boot Rom: MBP71.0039.B0B
SMC: 1.62f6
No problem with Win 7 DVD

I updated EFI before reinstall, then things changed, Mac OS works good but Win 7 DVD cannot find any device drivers any more.

Can somebody give me some advice? Thanks a lot.

It seems that Bootcamp V4.0 is for MBA& LION, moreover right now my windows had been deleted, that's why I am going to reinstall it on MBP.

No, it's for all Macs. And if you want the best drivers, then get regular updates.

The windows OS does not exist on my MBP. Can Bootcamp 4.0 be installed in MAC OS X?

No, you cannot install Windows on Mac OS X without a VM.

I always install windows by Bootcamp Assistant Not VM and things go well.

Do you mean VM is the only way to solve the subject problem?

1. Delete Windows partition using Boot Camp Assistant if you haven't done that yet
2. Update to Lion
3. Reinstall Windows 7 from scratch
4. Install latest drivers
5. Be free of future confusions

You will not experience errors this way.

Hi,

You need to download them?

Did you even bother reading the instructions Apple provided to use bootcamp?

I really think this is a case of RTFM.

Once you install Windows 7 on your machine, you insert the snow leopard DVD into it, the drivers are located on the DVD and you will be able to install them from there.

I had downloaed Boot Camp 4.0 by Boot Camp Assistant step by step as per instruction, insert Windows DVD, restart, loading files, format one partition to NTFS, WINDOWS CANNOT BE INSTALLED TO THIS PARTITION.
Maybe somthing wrong with my HD.

I installed Windows 7 by Boot Camp successfully many times but this time I am so ftrustared after trying different ways to install Windows 7. Help.......

I believe in the instructions you have to 'delete' and 'format' the 'BOOTCAMP' drive to NTFS (when in the Windows Installer) and then you should be good to go.
