Boot Camp 5.1 for Windows 7 driver setup file missing

I am not sure if I am only one here. I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bits, and I just followed Apple instruction on Boot Camp 5.1 and got all the files for drivers on USB (came with 16gb, 3.0) and it was setting up smoothly till boot into Windows 7 setup on macbook pro, and then it says can't find drivers, so I manually open folders in this USB and it show files list, and I also opened the file that I downloaded from Apple (Boot Camp Support Software 5.1.5621) then plug in Windows on mac, and they picked up the USB and all those files, however I don't see any "setup.exe" anywhere. Is there missing file or something?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Ok, I have spend more time investigate and found that "setup.exe" was already in download from Apple. However when I moved to USB and plug in macbook and then install the Windows 7 then it asked for driver, and I was able to find my USB and when I opened the folder, it wasn't in there at all. no setup.exe or anything else in it.
Any one could help me get Windows 7 install on my macbook please? I need it for my new job where they required use Internet Explorer.
Thanks,

Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows 7

Greetings,
I have an iMac late 2009 with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor running at 3.06 GHz and 4 GB RAM. It has a Graphics/Display ATI Radeon HD 4850 with 512MB.
My question is: Does Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows 7 have the necessary drivers to correctly run the Graphics/Display ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB card?
I have read in these Discussion Groups that people are having problems with their monitor display after loading Windows 7 on their iMac.
Thanks in advance for your help and support.

No, I wouldn't say 3.1 has the necessary drivers, it is still about 6 months out of date. But you can get drivers from ATI.
its NOT a desktop card, its a modified laptop card, but installing mac drivers makes windows THINK its a full desktop card, and running the original 8.681 driver crashed it.
The fix:
The latest 10.6 Catalyst will work, but you have to uninstall drivers/program first and then let Windows reinstall its device, then ATI.
I read that people were having to use mobility graphics to get Windows to recognize the card properly.

I wish people could jump past 3.0 directly to some future 3.2 and avoid the mess but it is doable.
You may need to boot Windows in Safe Mode, though you can't uninstall programs or install new drivers.

You can't. It is included with a version of OS X. and to my knowledge for Win 7 you need BC 4. Which should already be installed.

It is difficult to understand your issue from your discription. I have three suggestions.
1. Visit the Boot Camp forum. You posted in the Mac Book Pro forum about your Boot Camp issue. The Boot Camp gurus hang out in the Boot Camp form. https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
2. Read the Boot Camp installation guide. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.7.pdf
3. Do not post personal information such as phone numbers in public forums.

Recommended Boot Camp Partition Size for Windows XP

All,
What size is recommended for a Windows XP Boot Camp Partition? 100Gb? 50Gb?
Main use is to run a few programs that are not available for Mac. Most everything else will be transferred over.
Thanks

Depending on the programs you want to install, you can get by with very little. I have virtual XP systems that live within 8GB virtual disks. If you've got the drive space, go for ~30GB. I've found that to be a nice size for running Windows 7 within, and thus you likely won't have to mess with re-partitioning should you update the OS in the future.

How to enable right click and taping in Boot Camp 3.1 for Windows XP SP3?

I have my MacBook Pro with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 running on it...finally could instal Boot Camp 3.0 and then updated to 3.1 in Windows XP SP3.
The trackpad recognizes only left click and do not recognize taping!What to do?

Check the Driver folder on the Boot Camp Driver Support DVD, or CD, you made.
Look in the Apple folder under Drivers. It is called AppleMultiTouchTrackPadInstaller.exe
That should install a Control Panel Applet.
EDIT:
There is another in that folder called AppleTrackPadInstaller.exe

Upgrading to Mavericks from 10.6.8 with boot camp partition already for Windows 7

Hello,
I have a 2011 27" iMac/16GB ram/1TB HD on OS X 10.6.8
I did upgrade it to 10.7 but it changed too much stuff I did not like, so it was a nightmare to get back to 10.6.8
Anyway, I have a partition on there with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit that when I need to I boot into that partition.
I use a program called reFIT when my machine first turns on to select with one, works well as it is a EFI partition tool but no longer developed.
So regardless of the reFIT program if I upgrade to Mavericks will it screw up my Windows partition?
I have the Windows 7 disc/image so it's not a big thing but I don't want to spend days trying to make something work if it screws up what WORKS now.
You know the old saying, if it's not broke, don't fix it.......
any input would be appreciated
thanks

The short answer is that it may, so keep that image available.

Where can I download Boot Camp 4.0 for Windows7 64 bit?

Hi,
I'm wondering where can i get a download of Boot Camp 4.0 for Windows7 64 bit?
Now, I'm using the latest Mac Air (Late2011) w/ OS X Lion. Or I can just using Boot Camp 3.3 for Windows without any conflicts with Boot Camp 4 on Mac OS X Lion?
Thxq for your advice.

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and somehow it crashes the mac side peridoically. I am told I need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the recovery drive. will that delete the windows partition too??

I have a mac book pro with Boot Camp that also runs windows. I upgraded to Lion and now the mac side crashes/freezes periodically, especially iphoto. I am told by the genius' that I probably need to "clean" it and reinstall lion using the "recovery drive" which resets everything back to default and reinstalls the lion operating system. My question is will this also delete the "windows" partition drive and all that data too. If so that will be a huge pain in the ___ to back up and reinstall boot camp and windows. I want to shoot the lion.

There is no system like Acronis for the Mac platform. You can try using the buiilt in Disk Utility to create an Image of the complete Mac drive but I have found that this does not work very well as on tryiing to restore it gives errors sometimes.
You can use SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner to create a bootable Clone of your system partition. But that is only for the System partition and not the complete drive.
If you use Boot Camp to install Windows on your Mac neither of those two programs will clone the Windows side.
Neither will Disk utility as Mac's can not create or write to a NTFS partition. So some other program is need for that.

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo without the original CD?

When I begin to attempt to download the windows support software in boot camp, it says the windows support software is unavailable. Is there any other place I can download it for a Macbook Pro 5,5 intel core 2 duo with snow leopard without the original CD?

Hi,
apart from the MacBook Air this feature is of no use for other Macs right now.
Simply ingnore it (click "I already have the Drivers...) and continue with the installation.
Sorry to say but you need the OSX Install DVD for the BootCamp Driver installation.
The 3.0 version of the BootCamp Drivers is only avaiable on the disc.
Later updates (3.1 and 3.2) can be downloaded from Apples Support website.
Call Apple and ask for a replacement and they usually send you one for a small fee.
And have the Serial-Number of your Mac at hand when calling.
And since the OSX Install DVD can also be vital for maintenance and repair it is best to have one.
The needed BootCamp Drivers are on the OSX Install DVD 1 that came with your Mac.
Insert that disc while in Windows after the Windows installation to install the drivers.
Regards
Stefan

Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?

I am migrating from a PC to a Mac; I want to take advantage of having a Windows desktop to run some apps until i buy Mac equivalent software;
I have Tiger, but am installing Leopard this weekend;
Should I Use Boot Camp or Parallels for use of a Windows Desktop?
I am tempted by not having to reboot, but i don't want my mac to slow down?
I am a photographer and use Photoshop and other graphics intensive programs.

Hi,
to achieve full computing power while in Windows you have to use BootCamp and for Photoshop and other apps of that caliber in Windows its the best.
For apps less demanding using Parallels (VMWare Fusion) is sufficient enough and the slight downgrade in speed is negligible.
You should however (if not already done) max out the RAM of your Mac.

Boot camp not working in windows installer

Boot Camp Assistant ejects The Windows intaller disc

Hi to everyone,
iMac:
- Intel-based iMac (late 2008).
OS and Hardware:
- Mac OS X version 10.5.7
- Boot ROM Version: IM81.00C1.B00
- SMC Version (system): 1.30f1
DVD Drive:
- OPTIARC DVD RW AD-5630A
- Firmware Revision: 1AHN
I'm trying to install Windows XP Pro OEM SP3 (version 2002).
I launched Boot Camp Assistant 2.0 and created a 32 GB Bootcamp partition. So far so good, then I'm asked to insert the Windows installer disc. I do what is asked then wait a few seconds and click "Start Installation". After about 20 seconds or so, Boot Camp Assistant ejects the Windows disc and displays this: "The installer disc could not be found." I re-insert the disc but the same thing happens again and again.
This is what I tried before posting here for your help:
I quit Boot Camp Assistant and tried to insert the Windows XP Pro installer disc and it won't mount at all and will eventually be ejected.
I thought the disc might be damaged so I inserted it in a PC and everything seems right with the disc. I can see all files using the PC computer that is 5 years old.
I thought it would be a firmware problem with my iMac so I accessed this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1237 and it seems there is no firmware update required for my iMac.
I execute the command Apple>Software Update and there is nothing to update.
Is there someone able to help me?
Thank you in advance.
Kazon

Hi,
I solved the problem myself. This might help others.
Recap:
The Windows XP Pro CD was always ejected by Boot Camp and it wouldn't mount at all when inserted in the CD slot. The CD was however readable on a Windows Machine.
It was not easy to detect but the Windows CD was physically deformed. It wasn't flat. It was a little convex (the outer edge was higher than its center). My iMac wasn't able to read it at all but a PC was able until I decided to test it with a full install on the PC. About half way during the installation, it stopped and an error message was displayed by Windows Setup "Disc Read Error - Disc might be damaged".
I ejected the CD and discovered the deformation. So I carefully placed the outer edge of the CD over a ring and put some weight on its center to try to undo the deformation. I've waited 2 days then retested the CD and it worked at the first attempt. My iMac was happy and so was I. I made a security copy of the CD while it's still readable in case I have to re-install later.
I find Microsoft cheap of putting their Installation CD in a paper sleeve. If the CD have been stored in a CD case this would not have happened.
End of the story.
