I have successfully installed Windows 7 via Boot camp assistant
but when I log into the Windows partition I cannot get internet or link to my wireless connection. I believe I need drivers but don't know how to get them and add them to the programme? Can anyone help??

Try either downloading drivers and burning to CD at the start of the BootCamp Assistant setup, or if using Snow Leopard, pop in the DVD and it should run, if not open Computer > DVD Drive and click auto run.exe.

Helps if you provide computer and operating system details. Of course you printed the BootCamp guidelines/

Osx Issues

I omitted to say that I have osx Lion installed and am now wondering whether to uninstall Windows 7 and starting again, this time following driver options during install? They don't exactly make things clear in the prompts Good idea?

Boot back to Lion. Run the Boot Camp assistant and go ahead and download the driver image from Apple and burn it to a CD or copy it to a flash drive. Then exit the Boot Camp assistant program with doing anything else. Boot to Windows 7 and insert the CD or flash drive and install the drivers.

Can not find drivers on DVD

I got Lion form the App store, burned a boot on a dvd from that, but when in windows 7 ultimate, it says the dvd is empty, and I can not find the drivers anywhere. Do the drivers come with Lion, if so, do they come with the online purchase?? I appreciate any help, gotta get my windows internet going asap.

Not from Lion disc, but go to Bootcamp Assistant, print and read Guidelines, hit Continue and Option 2 on the next page gives you the opportunity to download the drivers and burn to a CD. And to get Lion onto the DVD it had to be done prior to starting the installation.
