[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1807488, member: 46727"] Welcome to our forums. I believe your MacBook Pro (17" 2006 model A1151) is not able to run Windows 7 because Boot Camp drivers are not available. That model should be able to run Windows XP. Also, that model maximum memory is only 2 GB which is barely adequate for Windows 7. You might be able to install Windows 7, but as you found out, drivers are a problem. You can purchase a Snow Leopard DVD direct from Apple on line. Price is $19.95. You can install with that disk, however, it will likely overwrite Windows 7. [/QUOTE]
