[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1382837"] Sorry macuser, I think these guys were confused by your initial post. You appear to have a new machine running Lion, is that correct? If so, you can set up the Windows partition by using the Boot Camp tool that is already included on your Mac. You will NOT need a Mac disc, but you WILL need an unactivated (ie fresh, legal) copy of Windows 7. During the setup process, Boot Camp now offers to download the necessary drivers as part of the installation. You will be asked to burn these to a disc. You DO definitely want these drivers, as they are crucial to controlling now just "useless things like the cam" but also the USB ports, the keyboard mapping and other stuff. So just go ahead and have the Boot Camp software download the drivers at the appropriate point in the process, and then re-insert the burned disc when asked to install those drivers on your Windows installation.
