Hi all
After loads of headwork I may have a perfect running Windows 7 on my MacBook Pro.....I was running XP but decided for a change, installed 7 but had the issues with sound, keyboard, bluetooth etc etc tried a few things but no joy.
So went to Vista instead, things worked fine but didnt partition enough space so another reinstall was needed, then came the brainwave if everything is running smoothly in Vista surely if I upgrade to 7 it should still work, ok I was a little wrong 90% of it did.....i even had sound, bluetooth issue was resolved just needed to uncheck 'allow computer to control sleep thing' just needed to sort out the keyboard backlight, eject and fn keys.
So in my wisdom I reinstalled bootcamp 2.1 update...ignore the messages that come up it will install...reboot and voila ALL WORKING!!!
I will be rigorously testing this over the next week so will post back any issues, hopefully there wont be any.
By the way im using the x86 version as my MBP doesn't support 64bit
So in short
Partition > Vista (make sure fully updated) > Upgrade to Windows 7 > reinstall Boot Camp > Happy days!!
Regards
Mort
