[QUOTE="EVGABuzzer, post: 1065353, member: 161374"] [b]Oh[/b] YIKES ! - I had no idea Boot Camp did all that. Please excuse. I read the tutorial on it and it does cover installing Boot Camp drivers. I guess I am lucky and it sounds like it would not have worked with XP. Thank you for informing me. I was wrong when I said Boot Camp would not format NTFS - I checked and it will. My Boot Camp Assistant is version 2.0. I did the initial W7 install using Boot Camp [quite a long time ago so I have forgotten some of the details]. I allocated 50G for W7. Problem was by the time I loaded my apps, I was running out of space. So I bought a larger drive. I did not want to do a complete re-install of W7 and all the apps so that's why I made the images and did what I did. When I restored the W7 image on the new larger partition, it came up the same size as the old one. The extra space was unallocated. I tried to expand it using W7 Disk Manager but it would not work because of the Mac partition. MacDrive8 kept intervening and stopping the process saying it was "protecting a Mac disk". So I tried using MacDrive. It could see the partitions but all options to format and such were not available for that disk. I guess I should have just disabled MacDrive which I finally had to do. Question - Since the W7 image was made from an install that was done using Boot Camp, do I actually have the benefit of everything Boot Camp does? Any drivers and such would be in that image. I guess BIOS emulation would be too - if its emulation, then its software so it should be in the W7 disk image - correct [I hope]? Maybe my sound problem is simply because the drivers Boot Camp 2.0 provided are not working with W7. So do I need to start completely over and do it the" right way", or can I try loading drivers from my Mac OS Install disk and perhaps get Boot Camp 2.2 drivers for W7 64-Bit which are available without upgrading to Snow Leopard.
