Boot camp load up screen

hey guys. So i installed boot camp. Installed windows xp sp2. Everything works fine. I restarted loaded back my osx. Now how do i load up windows again. I know its a stupid question sorry. iS there a way when i start my macbook like a little boot up screen where i could choose either mac hd or windows hd pops up, how do i get that to pop up when i start my macbook up? or how do i even load up windows again?

There is a discussion group dedicated to boot camp where you might find more people with extensive knowledge.
When you boot your computer, hold down the option key. You will see an icon for OSX and an icon for Windows. You can use your mouse or the arrow keys to select the one you want. You can set the default start in the "Startup Disk" preference pane for OSX and the control panel for Windows.

Boot Camp - HD selection screen

Hello,
I have been searching for awhile and cannot find and information regarding this. I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 series mouse and when I go into the Boot Camp HD selection screen my mouse movements are inverted. Up is down and down is up. I am not sure why this is or how to fix it. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Brad

Try a new post in the BootCamp USB, Mouse, etc. forum. This is the 10.6 forum and we don't cover BootCamp issues.

i was trying to download windows 7 on mac book air 10.8.2.seems like i didnt copy my windos disk on the usb properly at the begining,so after the boot camp steps the screen is black and telle me to put the write disk.
eventually i made a coorect usb windows 7 and put it back to continue as it was saying so,but there is no change and the screen still is dark and says no bootable disk ,insert.
how to solve the problem?

Right now I have 6 different systems installed. Windows XP, 7, and 8 plus Linux Mint, Commodore, and OS X Snow Leopard (for old times sake), all running on Mountain Lion.
I recommend reading the user manual as it greatly helps getting through the steps, however an intuitive person should pick it up fairly easily.
Thanks to BobTheFisherman for the link.
There are other ways to get Windows on a Mac but I'm a big fan of open-source software.
Give it a try. You might like it or it may not be your cup of tea.

Can't Boot to OSX w/ Boot Camp Loaded

Alright, I haven't seen this problem and I am hoping I am just not smart. But what is happening is I am writting this from Windows on my MBP. I did the Boot Camp thing and all, got XP on and it all works great...except...
I cannot get back into OSX. I shut down and hold option button and get the choice of which OS to load. When I choose OSX I get the gray screen with the apple logo and then the cartwheel thing turns, and turns, and turns, and turns...I let it go 10 minutes or so and it still turned but never came back up.
Any clue as to what is up? Do I need to do everything afresh?

Man. . .looks like you may have got too much of what you wished for. . .I mean XP on MBP
I'd try connecting an external keyboard and use the option key on it--I mean it is worth a try.
Did you do the firmware update and the software update BEFORE loading XP?
YOu could try reparing OSX using the disk utility by booting off the install cd.
I dunno. Try these, you may need a reinstall.

After boot camp setup, white screen

Hello boys and girls.
So finally I decided I'd benefit from a bootcamp setup with Windows 7.
My setup is a MBP 15" late 2011 running OS X 10.8.5. 240Gb SSD in main hard drive slot with some alternative version of OptiBay, in other words I exchanged my DVD for another hard drive (the original 500Gb SATA).
The thought is to run OS X from the SSD and bootcamp on a 100Gb partition on the SATA disc. The remaining 400Gb should be shared between the two systems so I guess ntfs is the file system to go? Anyways, so far so good..
I used bootcamp to download the required software onto an external USB drive and chose to restart my computer, boot camp stated something about changing boot order and tbh I didn't pay all that much attention, just hammered "OK".
Mac reboots with a blank white screen, nothing happens. Doesn't matter if I unplug USB-drive or USB-DVD, still same wierd error. Googled it and tried a PRAM(correct me if I'm wrong) -reset. OS X is now booting up properly again but now I'm back to square one...
Perhaps I should also mention that ever since my MBP was brand new it have been freezing randomly a couple of times per month, wheel just starts spinning and I have to restart it using power button long press. Some times when it boots up, it has a folder with a questionmark in it, blinking. That too, seems very random and came from the store..
Maybe that's not the same problem and if so, this is about trying to figure out what makes boot camp screw up boot..
Thanks in advance!
Simon.

I do had the same issue with my build in iSight camera, but it did not seem to be related to the boot camp partition
(macbook pro, late 2007 model, OSX 10.4.11 Tiger, BootCamp Partition with XP).
The camera stopped working ramdomly, as mentioned above, not detected by any software or system profiler. The solution was always rebooting, sometimes twice.
When it finally completely stopped working a few days ago I've tried:
- safe reboot
- resetting the PRAM
- resetting the SMC
- rebooting several times
none of it worked. I've tried the camera in BootCamp Windows, but it did not detect it either.
It seems to be a common problem, as I found issues in several forums but unfortunately no solution.
Today I've called apple support, they said it might be a contact problem or a defect iSight.
I wish I had better news. Anyone else with a mor helpful suggestion?

Boot camp gets black screen when open games

Hi apple support.
I recently installed windows 7 ultimate 64 bit on my MBP (using boot camp) and i also downloaded all the drivers from the boot camp assistant.
After the installation i run in to these problems. Everytime im trying to play games (even the standard chess games in windows 7 ultimate), the screen goes totally black, but there is still light on the keyboard and the computer is still running. Then i need to shut down the computer and start it again.
MBP specs:
2,8 GHz intel core i7
4GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Intel HD Graphics 288 MB (nvidia geforce gt330m)
Software: OS X 10.8.2
I really tried everything, like downloading drivers for my graphic-card, updated newest updates from Windows Update.
HELP

I too have had this issue occur on one of my MBPs (early 2009 15" 2.4 A1286).
I would launch steam in windows bootcamp environment and temps would go to mid/upper 60s. Playing simple game such as AOE III (circa 2006 game) and after 10 minutes of gaming the screen goes black. Game sound is still on with the screen black. Requires hard reboot. I installed Lubbos Fan Control to occaisionally monitor temps while in game (using windowed game mode or via alt+tab to see the temps). Temps would be at mid to upper 80s. So I reasoned that it was a thermal efficiency issue.
The laptop is about 4 years old so I bought replacement fans incase they were struggling to spin/cool efficiently. I also did an SMC reset since some of the thermal charateristics of the Mac are controlled by SMC. Ordered new thermal grease too.
Since installing the new fans, SMC reset, applying the thermal grease to the GPUs and to the CPU... temps in OS X at idle are low to mid 40s (30s at startup in OS X). Temps in windows bootcamp environment are at about 62c at startup but settle to mid/high 40s at after a few minutes at idle (startup in windows has alot of services restarting, etc which accounts for the 60s temps at startup). SImple IE browsing is at low 50s (currently at 52c as I type this).
Now when I launch Steam, the temps while in windows climb to 60s. When in AOE III, temps can still climb to mid/uper 70s but never over 80c. I haven't had the black screen appear again, but I'll continue to test and monitor to be certain it doesn't return. One thing is certain, the temps are alot better now.
Macs running windows via bootcamp just simply run hotter than in OS X when doing similar things (Just launching steam in wondows, without running a game causes a 10c increase), but you can do a few things as noted above to try to keep the temps down.
Hope that helps.

Boot Camp Installation - Grey screen before installing Windows

So I just got a new iMac and I am trying to install BC. I went through all the steps (making a FAT USB drive, buying a copy of windows, partitioning 150GB for windows). Then I clicked the Start Installation and the computer rebooted.
However, I have been stuck on a grey screen for about 45 minutes. There is no Apple logo (there was one for the first minute of the reboot) and now there is a big no-smoking symbol (without the cigarette of course. you know the symbol that is a circle with a line). Beneath it is the spinning ball thingy saying it is doing something.
Should I just let it run or try a hard restart?

I think after weeks of searching I have finally narrowed it down, based on what I have read, to a disk drive problem. It seems to be something wrong with the EFI or the entire disk drive in general. I am taking it to the apple store tomorrow and I highly doubt they will do anything.

White screen of death and computer halts with ATI 4870 in Boot Camp

Hi!
I have just received the ATI Radeon 4870 for my Mac Pro (Early 2008)and have upgraded my Leopard to 10.5.7 and works fine on the Mac side. When I reboot and hold the command key I can see my MAC and my BOOT CAMP 2 options as always before. When I click on boot camp I get a white screen with a black frome around it and there is NO hard disk activity and nothing happens no matter how long I leave the computer alone. Before I had no problem booting into my boot camp loaded with vista 64 bit. I have another partition with parallels and that is fine but not this boot camp partition.
I am using ONLY this card in the system. I removed the NVIDIA card.
ALso I tried putting in my Vista 64bit DvD into the drive and rem=booting and see the option when hold the option key to go into MAC,WINDOWS,DVD.... When I select DvD and computer adjust to work in a windows enviroment again the system halts. SO I believe it has nothing whatsoever to to do with drivers inside Vista. It would have to be something that needs upgrading for bootcamp to allow for this video card to work on Bootcamp?
Again I have the latest updates of the OS.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for all your time!

CorkyO recommended what I would do: install old card, uninstall any graphics drivers and delete them, and use Driver Sweeper as well. So that there is nothing there.
If you have a raw unformatted drive, pull everything else and leave that in.... as if it was a PC and starting for the first time.
Don't use Boot Camp Assistant.
Don't put Windows on the same drive as OS X.
Do try Windows 7.7100 RC 64-bit.
Apple has not posted a link to graphics drivers since early 2008.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1442 - "Not found" and WAY out of date (167.xx) which would be foolish and obviously would not support Vista or 4870.
I would pull the Vista drive for another reason, too, so you can start fresh and import or access the files on it later.
Vista is sensitive to the presence and drive position of where the drive and OS was, the master boot record and such which I confess to not fully understanding.
Which is another reason to install Windows with no other hard drives present.
You keep saying you used COMMAND rather than OPTION key to restart into Windows, so figure typo/slip.
I would RESET SMC and ZAP PRAM/NVRAM. Force the device tree to get rebuilt. And that is important to OS X - suppose to do so but the G5s it never worked properly on its own.
There is a reason why people that play with graphics cards and drivers use Driver Sweeper, it works, and it is essential at times.
Early boot is under the control of EFI. I don't know what if anything Apple does (I don't trust the firmware updates that were suppose to provide better Windows compatibility only to learn it was mostly for XP and not Vista, and that it added a full 30 seconds to my boot routine into Windows - where EFI + Boot Camp does make Windows think there is a traditional BIOS.... my best summary guess.
Work with the only factual symptom: pulling one card and putting in 2nd is causing a problem.

Mouse issues at Hard Drive selection screen in Boot Camp

Hello,
I have been searching for awhile and cannot find any information regarding this. I have a Razer Deathadder 3500 series mouse and when I go into the Boot Camp HD selection screen my mouse movements are inverted. Up is down and down is up. I am not sure why this is or how to fix it. Does anyone know?
Thanks,
Brad

Hi all,
in another thread a user had problems with a non-Razer mouse and the selection screen.
Problem, of any, is that at the time of the selection screen, no additional mouse driver is loaded yet, but rather a seemingly 'unified' one.
While maybe a SMC reset might be helpful, I suggested to simply use the cursor-keys for selection and then the Enter key.
At least that works for me.
Happy computing
Stefan

Upgraded to ATI 4870 on Mac Pro and cant enter Boot Camp

Hi!
I have just received the ATI Radeon 4870 for my Mac Pro (Early 2008)and have upgraded my Leopard to 10.5.7 and works fine on the Mac side. When I reboot and hold the command key I can see my MAC and my BOOT CAMP 2 options as always before.

Any suggestions?
Thanks for all your time!

I guess you can't boot Safe Mode.
I would have uninstalled the graphics drivers first, as part of preparing to swap cards. Assume you had.... before this and the proper ATI (or Nvidia) drivers. Put back in the original card.... or are you trying to use both? Again, not clear from your comments.
You can't use ATI and Nvidia in Windows concurrently, don't know why but seems to be rule that they won't be compatible.
You have another - physical - native Windows partition? or a Parallels VM that is not using a native (Boot Camp) partition, which works.

WinXP SP3 and Boot Camp 2.1 | Win BSOD ATI card not correct!

Configuration:
Loaded and OEM WinXP SP3 on an iMac with Boot Camp V2.0. All worked correctly.
Immediately after Boot Camp 2.0 completed installed Boot Camp V2.1. All worked correctly.
Problem:
Working in Windows the OS triggered a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) after the OS was up for approximately 10 minutes. This was a repeatable problem.
Investigation:
Downloaded Windows DeBug utility to analyze the crash dump files from the BSODs. For reference on how to read the Windows dmp files and how to use Windows DeBug utility see the following link.
http://www.networkworld.com/news/2005/041105-windows-crash.html
Determined that the fault was caused by a driver file ati2mtag.sys.
Checked the version with the latest availble from the manufacturer ATI. It was the most recent version
Analysis:
In Windows right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters. The model shown was a Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT!
This is WRONG, the video card in this iMAC is a ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro.
Conclusion:
Windows and or Boot Camp loaded the incorrect video drivers for the video card.
Solution:
1. Download and install Dot Net 2.0 because the ATI driver installer requires this level to install required drivers. The download is available at the following link.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=0856EACB-4362-4B0D-8EDD -AAB15C5E04F5&displaylang=en
2. Go to ATI driver support page and download the latest Catalyst driver for 32-bit XP.
http://game.amd.com/us-en/drivers_catalyst.aspx?p=xp/radeonx-xp
3. After download, launch the installer, just proceed with the installer until it gets to the point where it pops up an error message saying that the installer could not find a suitable driver for your hardware.
4. Close out the installer and right click on My Computer, go to Properties.
5. Go to the Hardware tab in Properties, and then to the Device Manager, drop down the Display adapters, and you should see Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT, this is incorrect.
6. Right click on the video card and choose Update Driver, you will be now see a Hardware Update Wizard.
7. It says Can Windows connect to Windows Update to search for software? Select No, not this time, and click Next... Now you should see What do you want wizard to do? Select Install from a list or specific location (Advanced), and click Next.... On the next page select Don't Search. I will choose the driver to install, click Next....
8. On the lower right corner of the Wizard, Have Disk... Now click Browse and go to C: > ATI > Support > Driver, and select the inf file in there, click Open.
9. Scroll through to locate and then select ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro, and install that, you might get a message saying this driver isn't certified, ignore it and continue.
10. After completion, reboot.
My system is now running correctly, no more BSOD's!

hmm, is it possible that the same problem of the imac is mine on the macpro with 2 ati 2600 cards?
from where do you know that the recginized xt card is wrong and it must the pro version? cause of the 256mb to 512mb at the offical xt version?
plz take a look at my problem thread:

Troubleshooting Guide To Boot Camp 2.1

Troubleshooting Guide To Boot Camp 2.1
With a Mac Book Pro Os X Leopard and Windows XP Pro. I am providing this guide because I spent literally days fixing various problems most related to bad drivers. If I can save you the Nightmare I had it will be worth my time to write this guide for you!
Install Windows XP on FAT32
While using Mac if you ONLY want to be able to read XP files (NTFS or FAT32) then skip this section because OS X Leopard is able to correctly detect NTFS and FAT32 disks in READ ONLY mode.
However if you want to be able to read & write XP files (NTFS or FAT32) in Mac then you would install a program like Paragon NTFS or NTFS-3G. However once you do this you will experience this Problem:
Windows partition missing from Mac 'startup disk' menu when using NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS in Mac (Bootcamp 2.1 fails to fails to show windows disk in startup menu after installing NTFS-3G or Paragon NTFS)
It is unclear who is to blame for this bug. Both Paragon and NTFS-3G DO NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX the problem so the finger is pointed at this being an Apple Boot Camp bug! Don't hold your breath for a bug fix from Apple because I saw people have been having this problem for several years. It would be nice if the Apple cared a bit more about the Windows people they are trying to win over but anyway we are greatful for Boot Camp (even if it is as buggy as ****).
First my personal experience, I had it working perfectly before and after loading NTFS-3G onto my Macbook. I also had it working perfectly with Paragon NTFS. Then after a few months I reinstalled XP. Suddenly it no longer worked! Very fustrating when you KNOW it can work perfectly. It took me several days to figure out that this due to the fact that I had first installed XP and formated as FAT32 but the second time had installed XP and formated as NTFS!!
ONLY KNOWN Solution for this problem :
Format XP using FAT32. Apple understands FAT32 and everything will work as normal!
Do not format using NTFS as Apple does not understand it and XP will be missing from the 'startup disk' menu!
NTFS users can use this work around solution :
Install Paragon NTFS and use Paragon to set your boot partition and then reboot.
The least desirable solution :
Hold the ALT key down while booting and choose XP.
Install Boot Camp version 2.1
Using the the disc that comes with your Apple Mac Book Pro.
After Installation update the following drivers to these versions or newer :
Broadcom 802.11 Wireless (5.10.91.8) (4321AG) (*)
Realtek HD Audio R2.27 (5.10.0.5874) (2009-06-16)
NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT v185.85 (07.05.2009) (v6.14.11.8585)
Note (*)
Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers must be force installed to 4321AG. You can do this after installation by using the device manager and updating the driver to 4321AG. These drivers are 'borrowed' from another Broadcom 802.11 Wireless device since an update for the BCM 4328 drivers are not available from Apple or Broadcom.
Unresolved Issue
Back lighting of keyboard is not working in XP. Apple Bug?
Problems Fixed By Doing These Updates
Bootcamp KbdMgr.exe Latency Problems Slowing Your XP
I could not fix this problem but found an easy work around.
First check if your latency is being affected by the 'KbdMgr.exe' driver. Use 'DPC Latency Checker'. If the latency is green then you are OK! Skip Adead. If your latency is red then kill the 'KbdMgr.exe' in the task manager and check the latency. If it drops then this work around applies to you.
Open the Boot Camp directory in your Program Files directory. The real 'KbdMgr.exe' is renamed to something else like 'Boot Camp.exe' so that you can use it to boot back to Mac when you want to. Create a shortcut to the new name from from your desktop.
Then create an empty text file and give it the name 'KbdMgr.exe'. This will allow your PC to boot normally and run normally but will prevent Boot Camp loading automatically.
Wireless Problems
The Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers for the (BCM 4328) are unstable and often loose connection or freeze or stop working for no reason. The driver that causes this problem is version 4.170.25.12 (20/09/2007) BCMWL5.SYS
Sound Problems
The Broadcom 802.11 Wireless drivers (BCM 4328) drivers cause sound problems. Music or sound stutters or slows on playback. The driver that causes this problem is version 4.170.25.12 (20/09/2007) BCMWL5.SYS.
Apple Touch Pad Problems
The drivers supplied on the Boot Camp disc from Apple work but do not install correctly for some unknown reason but the drivers do work once you get them installed. The driver install files are :
AppleMultiTouchTrackPad.exe
AppleTrackpad.exe
Your Apple Touch Pad Drivers are working when Device Manager shows :
Apple MultiTouch
Apple Multitouch Mouse
And you can do a right click by holding two fingers on the touch pad and doing a click
You can scroll up and down using two fingers. Adjust the wheel scrolling speed to one line at a time under mouse properties in the control panel.
To install the drivers correctly use the Device Manager and look under Human Interface Devices. You should find two Apple 'Touchpad' drivers listed with a (Yellow !) change these drivers to use the 'USB Human Interface Device' driver. Then install both 'Apple MultiTouch TrackPad' and 'Apple Trackpad'. This should automatically update the 'USB Human Interface Devices' to the correct working Apple drivers. This worked for me. However if you are still having problems you can try the General Driver Installation Tips.
General Driver Installation Tips
Uninstall all devices drivers that are failing and reboot.
Make sure all non-Apple drivers are working properly. If not try and fix them first. I had a Logitech Mouse driver that was not working and suddenly when I fixed that at least half my Apple drivers started working. There was probably a resource conflict or some other relationship between the Logitech driver and the Apple Drivers.
If any driver is giving errors delete the physical driver file and reinstall! This is very useful when nothing you seem to do works. Sometimes you must physically delete the old driver file so that windows will correctly install the new one. I don't know the technical reasons for this only I found that this worked for me when I had to replace a Logitech Mouse driver after hours of fustration.
If you are busy in Device Manager and working with 'Human Interface Devices' and accidentally uninstall one of these drivers which are related to your mouse driver your mouse will stop working. Don't reboot, just unplug your mouse and plug it in again and Windows will autodetect a new mouse driver for you.
If you have been messing around and installing many drivers and your drivers still fail then try roll back the drivers until you can't anymore and then try one of the above methods again.
--------------------------------------------------------------------

It does work, but I think it is hard based on scant details as to why or what is preventing BC 2.1 from updating. I will say that BC 2.1 came out last spring and there were lots of people having trouble and threads to prove it (and long ones).
You should have Apple Software Update Control Panel which had to update itself to 2.1.1 in order to receive future updates that way (catch 22 if you can't, seems to be only to prevent older owners using BootCamp 1.4 Beta from taking advantage of BootCamp 2.x).
Mac OS X DVD now being sold has 10.5.4 and BootCamp 2.1. I assume your DVD of Leopard is older?

Boot Camp Windows 7 do not recognise wifi, ethernet, USB ports and has a scary red light in audio jack output!

Hi!
I have just tried to install Windows 7 x86 version on my MacBook Pro running Mountain Lion and a couple of strange things start appearing:
    1. On the Boot Camp Assistant first screen, I tried to download the drivers and after about 15min the system responding that the server did not responded.
    2. I went further and installed the Win7 without making the ISO as requested by the assistant and with no driver burned on a CD
    3. After installed the Win7 I noticed that it did not recognise the WIFI in my home nor any other in the area;
    4. There is a freaking RED LIGHT coming from my Audio jack output that I have never seen in my life... and that scares me!
    5. The USB ports does not works on Win7 side !
    6. The ethernet does not work, Win7 just don´t recognise it...
    7. There is no Boot Camp on Win7 side to be deployed...
Basically I will use Windows to run Quicken for Windows, but I can´t acces my backups on Dropbox because I do not have intercet access, and obviously I am not going to be able to back up new files.
Is there someone able to help me?
I have:Boot Camp 5.0.0 / Win7 Ultimate x86 / MacBook 2,5Ghz Intel Core i5 MID-2012 / Memories 4GB amd 500GB/ OS X 10.8.1 / Boot Camp partition with 50Gb for Windows.
I appreciate all help!

Did you make sure to install the Bootcamp utilities after installing Windows? They can be found in the boot disk/usb flash that Bootcamp creates (check for a folder called "Windows Support").These should enable sound/video/trackpad/etc.to work with full functionaliity under Windows (you may need to reboot after doing so). After installing them, you may also want to run Windows Update to make sure you get the latest drivers.
As far as the red light, many models of Macbook Pros are equipped with a digital Audio out. You can either use the standard analog 3.5mm Stereo jack (standard headphone connector), a 3.5mm miniSPDIF digital coax or miniTOSLINK digital optical cable (hence the red light). Windows may not know how to handle to audio out port until the proper drivers are installed and it may be enabling the digital signal by default. Installing the drivers mentioned above should set this back to normal operation.
hope this helps.
Toodles!

Problem with boot camp

Hi, how are you all
I have a problem since 3 months
I tried something in boot camp and ended up doing something wrong
Now every time I want to start my iMac I need to hold alt and choose MAC, or else it will take me to black screen that shows "no driver found to boot...."
I thought it wasn't that big deal, I don't need windows anymore, and it is not that hard to hold alt key while imac starts
but today I tried to install windows, because I upgraded ram to 12gb and wanted to try them, but I couldn't
I did devoid the hard disk successfully, but when I want to install windows 7 the computer restart, this is normal I know, but then it takes me to the white screen again where I can either hold down alt button and it will take me back to snow leopard, or don't hold any key which will take me again to that black screen I mentioned before
This is really frustrating
I live in UAE so there is no apple store here, and no offense but every authorized apple reseller has stupid people that don't know a bit about MAC, just hired to sell with no knowledge, I asked them about the problem and no one knew what I was talking about and brought the imac and no one knew how to solve it.
So hopefully ill find answer here
Please if you know the answer tell me, want to try the RAM
Thanks, Ahmad

Redo your install.
As in Boot from Windows 7 and do a clean install, format the drive which is already NTFS.

Have your OS X DVD ready for after Windows is installed.

Can't find boot camp 3.1 dmg

I'm having a lot of problems installing windows 7 on my mac. I've got the boot camp but it says I need to get boot camp 3.1. Right now I have some 2 version. I've looked all around and I can only find book camp 3.1 exe - what good is an exe file on a mac? I installed windows 7 but it restarted and said push any key to continue, I did that and nothing happened.

Not. IF you upgrade from Vista there is an error for ANY computer, PCs as well:
Boot Camp: "0x80070005" appears when upgrading from Vista to Windows 7
That is what that link refers to which is an additional problem that happens 70-80% into the install.
And at the bottom it refers back to the "black screen issue":
