Win 7 Bootcamp Driver Issues

[imacolih]

I have recently installed Win 7 on my 17" iMac using Bootcamp. The partitioning went fine, so did the Windows install, but the Bootcamp driver disk refuses to run. I have tried 'Troubleshoot Compatibility' using every logical option, but to no avail.

This seems kind of wierd to me, as no one else has mentioned a problem like this.

I have:
Retail boxed leopard, with 10.5.1 on the Disc
Mac OS 10.5.6 installed
Bootcamp 2.0
Win 7, Build 7000

17" 2GHz Core 2 Duo iMac
2 GB RAM
160GB HDD, newly formatted, with 10GB for Win 7 (I am storing all of my Data and apps on an external drive)

As far as I know, Win 7 and Mac OS are fully updated.

Win 7 runs fine, but the lack of drivers means very little works. It can just about manage the internet...

Thanks in Advance =D

Windows 7 isn't out yet and as far as I know bootcamp does not support it (as that would be illegal).

Uh, yeah, I meant the Win 7 Public Beta.

Oh, and it won't recognize my Radeon X1600, either

Even though its a public beta other companies may not be allowed to release software for it since its still an unfinished product and could change.

Well, there are lots of people on MR who have installed it without any problems, and AMD have already started migrating some of their PC drivers

That is awesome!

OP, any Vista drivers should install and run fine under Windows 7 (they both share the same driver model). Have you tried exploring the disc by right clicking on it (right click --> "Open" or something like that). Then just click on the Boot Camp folder and find the installer.
