[QUOTE="EndlessMac, post: 1127161, member: 140470"] That's basically what BootCamp does but in a more user friendly way. As dtravis7 has implied I think you guys might not fully understand what BootCamp actually is used for. :) It prepares your Mac to install Windows natively. It's not an application like Parallels that allows a user to run Windows at the same time as your Mac OS X. As you have guessed you need to install the drivers to get all this working. BootCamp would have asked you for this and made it easy to install. The drivers are on your Mac OS X disc that came with your Mac but I don't know if you can install it without the help of BootCamp. There is probably a way but I'm sorry to say that I don't know it because I've never heard of this problem before. Most people just use BootCamp. I believe your only choices are to either start over using BootCamp or search the internet and see if there is a way to install the Windows drivers from your OS X disc without the use of BootCamp.
