I'm gonna have to make a Macintosh drivers disc on a CD-RW or something. This update will be the third driver CD that I've made so far and I've only had an Intel Mac for about two weeks :rolleyes:

Well, just tried on Vista

This version still leave no support for Vista on Mac Pro. I still got 'no resources' issue with stock 7300GT graphic card and warning on PCI Express device and no drivers for 'Unknown devices'.
That's it. :rolleyes:

Sounds like to me he's running only Windows on his Mac, and so that's not an option since Windows can't open DMGs.

Kainjow, I doubt it, since unless you have Vista RC1, it would be very foolish to get rid of your OS X partition. If so, it's just sad that someone could be that opposed to a better OS.

Mount the dmg (inside Boot Camp "show package contents" after installation in OS X, then move the files from that "disc" onto your Windows volume if you are using FAT 32, or onto a FAT 32 jump drive if you are using NTFS. Or you can just burn it to a CD, either way works fine (though the CD way is a little easier).

Also, I'm surprised people running Boot Camp don't know this already. Don't you guys read onmac.net? If not, you're probably missing out on some great features for Windows.

Not this again. Ok I installed bootcamp and made a new drivers disk. I then updated the drivers in xp and now I am unable to connect to my wireless network. This happened the last time I tried to update the drivers in xp. I really do not want to install xp again to fix this. If anyone has a clue how to fix this please let me know. Thanks.

Im still having time sync issues even after version 1.1 Anyone else have the same?:confused: :( :mad:


Chris

Apple's 1.1 time solution is idiotic. They have a daemon run when you boot Windows that changes the time, but then nothing fixes it on the OS X side until you open it (then it automatically adjusts). What's more, I'm not sure the daemon runs when you come out of hibernation, so if you're smart and avoid full shutdown/restart (since hibernation is much faster booting up and down, cutting switch time in half), then Apple's solution may not work at all.

Back to the drawing board.

No, just burn a new driver disk and run the installer again in Windows.

do you have to reinstall windows and boot camp and repartition the HD? Or just update boot camp and make a new drivers cd and install that in windows?

any word on mac pro SATA performance yet? That would be the big thing to fix, in my mind (and I don't even have, nor will be getting, a mac pro!).

Boot Camp the application (which rests in your Utilities folder) must be installed on the startup volume.

You windows installation can rest on the external drive, provided you follow the correct instructions.

I think you took "External HD Support" the wrong way. I'm pretty sure it means that now you can install Windows on the external HD, while the Boot Camp itself has to be installed on your OS X partition/HD. Good luck!

Wasn't this already out???

I am confused on something... how is this 1.1.1 version different than the 1.1 version released a couple of weeks ago? According to the read me, it fixes the same bugs and adds the same improvements to Boot Camp??? So how is it different???

is the external windows installation on external drive officially supported, aka, i dont even need a 5gb partition on the internal drive?

the reason i'm asking is i only see this from the official documents
Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk

I don't see anything about external HD support. I'm pretty sure it's just internal.
