Apple Releases Boot Camp 1.1

[barbaloot]

Yeah I installed Vista with Boot Camp. But it's a pain.

1. When you are installing you have to delete the 200MB partition, which I believe is the boot loader. So you have to do an option key start up every time or it boots into Vista. Also you can't use boot camp to erase the Vista partition.

2. Not all the drivers work. I had to first hook my Macbook up wired to my network and do an update so I could get my Airport card to work. And had to get the intel driver for the audio.

3. Had to play around with the graphics driver to get the whole the Aero thing to work.

I can't find where I found the instructions online that I used originally.

Hey, just wondering if anyone here has tried BootCamp with Vista Beta? Also does anyone know if Vista will be fully supported in the Final version of Boot Camp?

Thanks

Apple Keyboard Support

Hmmm... I am the only one who has trouble with the Apple Keyboard Support? I have a MacBook and I installed the 1.1 update over my 1.01 installation. Now the "Apple Keyboard Support" tool ( kbdmgr.exe) doesn't start, instead a error message is recorded in the event log: "The service "KeyAgent" failed to start due to the following error: The system cannot find the file specified." - Event ID 7000, Source: Service Control Manager. Now I can't use any of the special keys on my MacBook...
I tried to uninstall and reinstall the Macintosh Drivers, but contrary to the instructions in "About Boot Camp Beta.rtf", inserting the driver CD wouldn't start the uninstall process, but would reinstall the drivers, which didn't fix my problem.

Apple just released beta 1.1 of Boot Camp which includes the following:
iSight camera support
Support for built-in microphones

Does this mean you can use the iSight for webcam in MSN messenger for windows? As well as the microphone?

*sigh* Updating the drivers now has my bluetooth mouse not scrolling or doing anything properly other than left/middle/right click. No more scrolling or forward/backward buttons.

Lame. The trackpad still doesn't scroll and now it's broken my mouse for scrolling.

CAN anyone please confirm if the clock is fixed? For example booting into windows, then back to OS X with both systems set to sync to the internt for their clocks always screwed up OS X...

The most annoying issue by far. Is this fixed?

CAN anyone please confirm if the clock is fixed?

I didn't check back in OS X, but for the first time in a looooong time, I did notice that the time was right in XP immediately after I rebooted into XP after installing the new drivers...

I used to have to fire off the synchronization manually....

Does anyone know or test out if this update supports external USB or Firewire Hard Drives?

Not directly.. but you can use the following link http://www.dualbootguru.com/bc%20-%20booting%20external%20hdd.shtml
to use a small page file on the mac and then have XP on a USB drive.

I am going to reformat and re-size my partition, get my efi parition back, and delete Windows Vista, and revert back to XP. Installing Vista was a big mistake. It's like running XP in 4th gear from the starting grid. Heaps of compatibility problems as well.

I used the cam on MSN messenger Live last night. I didn't use the mic though.

It appears to be fixed.

Anyone know if Boot Camp works with the 64bit edition (I have a Mac Pro). Right now M$ has a free 4 month free trial you can download. If I install it in Sept it should get me through until Vista comes out. I hate to spend $70 on XP knowing I'll just upgrade to Vista (and yes I'm a daring man to try a version 1 of a M$ product, I know).

 

[morespce54]

Oh well. I'll redo my system again when I get my 160GB hard drive. Until then I'm Civ IV-less.

LOL
or get the (almost crappy) Intel version...

Is there a place to download the full set of update drivers anywhere? I have installed bootcamp 1.1 however because I have a triple boot setup with OSX, XP and Linux, BootCamp doesnt like the partition setup and only gives me the quit option when I try to run it. I did grab the single set for the iSight as mentioned in this thread and thats working, but theres a few other updates that would be nice too.

As mentioned here or in another thread, you can use the menu option in Boot Camp to save the installer to a USB key or network share from within OS X. Beware it's 200 MB.

If you read the previous pages you'll see there is a simple fix for this. Here is the exact link to the post.

Yeah, I just never found the exe in the tree, however control/right clicking on the bootcamp assistant and then viewing the contents allowed me to find it. I was trying via the original pkg in the dmg. Thanks anyway.

 

[andrewface]

Yeah that happened to me too. Just right-click on My Computer and click Properties. Then Click on Hardware and then click on Device Manager. Under Network adapters the one with the "?" on it needs it's driver re-installed, this is the Wireless Network Adapter. Make sure you have the Macintosh Boot Camp Driver CD in the drive. Then right-click on "Network Adapter" with the "?" on it, and click "Install Driver" (or something along those lines) Windows should automatically find the driver from the CD which will install it, fixing your problem.

Hope that helps

idid this but the network adapter ddint have a "?" beside it...i still cant get the wireless going...god this is frustrating

Have any of you seen drivers for the Mac Pro x1900xt? I was just curious. I'm sure no one has a Mac Pro with that card yet, but I was just wondering if there was any indication of it on the driver cd.

isight does not work

hi

i tried the new bootcamp but on my macbook, the new isight driver does not work! it is shown as 'built-in isight - unprogrammed' - it seems as if there should something be updated (maybe firmware of isight?) but that does not work.
on the macbook of my wife, everything went flawlessly. anybody had the same problem?

Regards

Patrick

I've seen it asked a few times through out this thread but never answered. Does anyone know if the multiple internal hard drive support can transilate to external hard drive support. I traded my Macbook pro for a regular mac book with a smaller hard drive. I would like to have access to windows at home but I don't want to sacrifice hard drive space to do so. Please advise.

You can make it work, but you have to modify your XP Boot disk to handle USB Boot. This is unsupported by Apple, or Microsoft and will likely stay that way.

If you can live without swap space, you're done. Otherwise follow the directions in the link from the article in the thread https://forums.macrumors.com/posts/2726522/, though if you dedicate 5GB to Windows already, you might as well install the OS there too.

4 unrecognized devices

Hi!
I installed BC 1.1 on my iMac and still have 4 devices (1 USB HID, 1 PCI and 2 others) that are not recognised by Win XP. anyone knows what they are?
I suspect that the USB HID might be the IR sensor, but what about the rest?
