How to Install Drivers for Win XP without the CD?

I have a 15-inch Mac Book Pro older version. I have installed the Windows XP, but my superdriver is with some kind of problem. When I insert the CD from Mac OS X, as instructed on the Boot Camp Manual, the CD is not recognized. So it is ejected after some time trying to read it.
I don't know what is happening with my superdriver, but I need to install the drivers on my Windows XP.
I would like to know if there is any other way to have these drivers installed. In addition to that, I would like to know how to solve the problem of this Superdriver.
Thanks,
João Pedro

Hi,
is the Superdrive working in OSX or does it have the same problems there ?
Do you have AppleCare ?
And if, are you still in the three-year time-limit ?
The AppleCare warranty would cover the replacement of the SuperDrive.
Otherwise you would have to pay for it.
As for the drivers you can try the OSX DVD in another Windows computer (if you have access) and then use a USB-Memory Stick of at least 1GB size and copy the full content of the OSX DVD onto the USB-stick.
Then use the USB-stick to install the drivers by manually starting the 'setup.exe' file while in your BootCamp Windows.
Since the OSX DVD is a hybrid-disc (with a OSX part and a Windows part) this does not work while in OSX, since only the OSX part of the DVD is shown.
Hope it helps
Stefan

How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?

Hello everyone,
I am facing a problem with bootcamp on my Macbook pro 15" (Mid 2010, running Mos OS 10.6.6).
I have successfully installed windows 7 via Bootcamp, but I lost the Drivers DVD furnished by Apple.
I tried to download these using Bootcamp (v3.0.4), but bootcamp won't let me save it, i get this error :
"the windows support software could not be saved to the selected folder"
An Apple support article has been made for this problem ( http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3648 ), but it doesn't solve the problem in my case because I lost the furnished DVD.
So here I am, struck on this drivers issue...
So, my question is :
How to download macbook pro (mid 2010) drivers for windows 7, without the included DVD (lost) ?
Thank you for your help !

Aw, and I forgot, being in Thailand, they do not sell the installation DVD.

How to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.co ?

how to install drivers for ati radeon 3200?and how to config xorg.conf?

Hello
I am using ati hd 3200 which is integrated with my motherboard. If you are using arch you can download & install through pacman. The package is named like catalyst*. You can install them by issuing as root user
#pacman -Sy
#pacman -S -l | grep -i catalyst
#pacman -S catalyst catalyst-utils
After installation reboot your machine in runlevel 1. (single mode). Ensure "fglrx" module is loaded correctly using
#lsmod | grep -i fglrx
If the resultant output have "fglrx" part the module is loaded correctly. The next step is to create a working /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Backup your current xorg.conf if needed.
#cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bkup
Then issue
#aticonfig --initial --input=/etc/X11/xorg.conf
This will create a new xorg.conf file. Now we can test our confign.
#telinit 3
I am using runlevel 3 to avoid graphic messup!!
issue
#gdm
If you graphical login screen works correctly there is nothing to do more except adjust your monitor resoloution as you like.
To know your ati driver is working correctly issue as root
#fgl_glxgears
If gears are rolling happily it seems correct. You can also know more about installed ati driver
#fglrxinfo
Now the installed driver version is in the output
If there is any problem try following
##### Soloutions to solve various display problems using ATI Catalyst Drivers in Linux #####
yes video playback is choppy until i ran :-
sudo aticonfig --overlay-type=Xv
Try adding the following to the 'Device' section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf
Option "TexturedVideo" "true"
### This is a half solution for mythtv problems. Run mythtv in window (no full screen) If You have a screen resolution of 1024x768 try the command;
mythfrontend --geometry 800x600
Append the "Device" Section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf file as follows;
Section "Device"
Identifier "Videocard0"
Driver "fglrx"
Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
Option "TexturedVideo" "on"
Option "TexturedVideoSync" "on"
Option "Capabilities" "0x00000800"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection
Add following in the .bashrc of each user or /etc/bashrc file* Most Effective In My Case!!
export LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=true
####### Arch Linux - Add the "nopat" option to the /boot/grub/menu.lst or /boot/grub/grub.conf
####### as in the following example
title Archlinux Ice Kernel
root (hd0,1)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz26-ice root=/dev/sda2 ro resume=/dev/sda3 quiet splash nopat
initrd /boot/kernel26-ice.img

Satellite U500-11C: How to find drivers for Win 7

Good Morning,
I bought an U500 11C and I would like to install Windows seven.
But I have a problem, I don't know how to find all the drivers to run with windows seven.
Is it possible to use the same drivers than with windows vista ?
Do you know where I can find the drivers for my laptop to run with windows seven ?
Thanks a lot in adavance.

Hi
At this time you will not find the Win 7 drivers on the Toshiba European driver page because the Win7 is not official on the market.
But I found some beta drivers on the Toshiba US page.

There you can find drivers for different notebook series I think U505 series is very similar to U500 so try out the drivers!

How to install drivers for nvidia geforce 6800gt for AGP

I might be completely blind, but I have no idea as to how to install the necessary drivers I need for my new (used) graphics card. My card is not displaying properly (doing all this in safe mode) and I'm pretty sure I need the drivers. Please help.
Thanks in advance.

So sorry for wasting anybody's time. Steve, you're right, the drivers were already there. I missed a very, very small detail on the card and the instructions. There were 2 minuscule pieces of tape that needed to be pulled off from the card (I guess they were left on in case the buyer had a g4. But with a g5, and 8x agp, those two little pieces of tape needed to be pulled off. After I pulled them off and re-installed the card, everything started up immediately and display works! Sorry again, but thanks for the quick response.

How to install drivers for HP Color Laserjet 1215 and HP Scanjet G2410 on Mavericks?

I recently purchased MacBook Pro and upgraded the OS to Mavericks. I am unable to find drivers for my HP Color Laserjer CP1215 printer and HP Scanjet G2410 scanner which I was using with HP Laptop. Google search yielded instructions at http://foo2zjs.rkkda.com/INSTALL.osx for the HP CP1215 printer. However, the instructions don't seem to be working on Mavericks. So, I am stuck with a printer and scanner which don't work with Mac. Thanks in advance for any help.

I don't see either of those models on http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669. You should probably check with HP to see if they are still supported.

How to install drivers for Ni USb 6009

Hi
I am trying to use an NI-USB 6009 and was wondering if its possible to install just the drivers for this hardware. I know that I can install the NI-Daq base but I would really like to install the minimum amount of software onto my computer that has linux. However, I did try to install the NI daq base and the installation is failing because of an input/output error, (I am not really sure why).
I would really like to be able to just install the drivers for the USB-6009. I was just wondering if that was possible and where I could find them.
Thanks

Hi Cannonball,
You'll know pretty quickly after installing DAQmx Base and running the lsdaq utility as to if you need different firmware. The 6008 and 6009 must have a different firmware loaded to be able to run DAQmx Base 3.x. This is not a problem though as there is a firmware updating utility that comes with DAQmx Base and it's fairly straigh forward. For more information, see the link below.

Webcams on a Mac? Anyone know how to install drivers for a webcam?

I recently bought a Creative Live! CAM Video IM Ultra: http://us.creative.com/products/product.asp?category=218&subcategory=219&product =18194&listby=
I've got a newer (1 year old) Mac Mini running Leopard.
I just want to use this webcam with Skype. Do I need to install the drivers that came with the CD? Or can I just "plug 'n play"? I bought this particular webcam because it was on some "Mac-friendly Webcams" website (they said "these webcams are known to work with Leopard."
I tried to put the CD in, but it wouldn't autoplay (and I'm not sure which files I'd need). They sure don't make this webcam "Mac friendly."
I wasn't sure where to post this question, so I posted it a couple places.
Thanks,
Otto

I would say that you might be able to make it work, but the chances are not good.
Did you check the manufacturer's requirements? They say "Microsoft® Windows® XP SP2 / Windows Vista®" is required.
