If Windows didn’t install properly

Verify that you’re using an original, full version of one of the following:

Â

Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later

Â

Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate

Â

Windows 7 Home Premium, Professional, or Ultimate

Media Center, OEM, and upgrade versions of Windows XP are not recommended.

Restart your computer and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons
appears on your screen. Insert the Windows installation disc. Select the Windows
installation disc icon and then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on
your keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or
reinstall Windows.

If you insert the wrong disc during installation

Eject the disc by holding down the Eject key on your keyboard while restarting
the computer.

Step 4:

Install the Boot Camp Drivers for Windows

After installing Windows, install Mac-specific drivers and other software for
Windows using your Mac OS X installation disc.

The Mac OS X disc installs drivers to support Mac components, including AirPort,
built-in iSight camera, the Apple Remote, the trackpad on a portable Mac, and the
function keys on an Apple keyboard.

The Mac OS X disc also installs the Boot Camp control panel for Windows and the
Apple Boot Camp system tray item.

To install the Boot Camp drivers:

1

Eject the Windows installation disc.

2

Insert the Mac OS X disc.

If the installer doesn’t start automatically, browse the disc using Windows Explorer
and double-click the setup.exe file in the Boot Camp directory.

3

Follow the onscreen instructions.

If a message appears that says the software you’re installing has not passed Windows
Logo testing, click Continue Anyway.

Windows that appear only briefly during the installation don’t require your input.
