Killroy Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 How do you extract the Mac Windows Drivers from the Mac OS X [9a559 Leopard] Install DVD? I can't seem to find them anywhere. With Boot Camp Beta v1.4 the drivers were within the Boot Camp Assistant in Tiger. However, with Leopard they are not there. The instructions indicate the drivers are on the OS X Install DVD, but where exactly? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Open the BootCamp assistant......look inside all the menus.....one of them has “SAVE WINDOWS DRIVERS TO HARD DRIVE”.....or something along those lines.... I dont have leopard installed anymore, so I cant check exactly where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have leopard installed anymore, so I cant check exactly where it is. Nope, I already tried and that doesn't work. With Leopard 9a559 the Boot Camp Assistant is only about 12.1MB, the Windows Drivers are not included within the package. The PDF Setup Instructions say the Windows Drivers are on the Mac OS X Install DVD, but I cannot find them anywhere. I should also mention that I did not burn the .dmg to a dual layer DVD. Perhaps this is the easiest way to get the drivers, but I don't have any dual layer DVDs. I used an external drive and installed 9a559 from there. I've been searching for the Windows drivers in OS X (with hidden files visible) and also in Vista with MacDrive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Why don't you just use the drivers that come with the current beta of Boot Camp for Tiger? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killroy Posted September 27, 2007 Author Share Posted September 27, 2007 Why don't you just use the drivers that come with the current beta of Boot Camp for Tiger? That's one option. I'm trying to see if there are any differences between the Boot Camp Beta v1.4 Windows drivers and the drivers from Boot Camp v2.0 in 9a559.

-Bj Posted September 30, 2007 Share Posted September 30, 2007 Ok, I installed Vista using Boot Camp 2.0 and when I put in my disk, windows cannot read anything on it except those weird files. I'm guessing the drivers aren't there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helios Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Anybody else having a problem with Vista not recognizing that the powersupply is connected? It thinks that it's running off battery all the time. Boot camp 1.4 drivers installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkevinli Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Yes. What I do is just pull the plug of and then put it back on and Vista shows it connected to the PS again. When I rebooted, I have to do it again. Anybody else having a problem with Vista not recognizing that the powersupply is connected? It thinks that it's running off battery all the time.

rollcage Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 I don't think Apple has put the drivers on the disk yet. They're probably going to wait until Leopard ships to include them. Guess they want to finish with the beta before they put them in the Leopard disk... I have the same problem with my MBP and Vista not seeing when it's plugged in, but the taking it out and putting it back in works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killroy Posted October 4, 2007 Author Share Posted October 4, 2007 Now I just think the .dmg on TPB may be missing some data. The official ADC 9a559 seed is supposed to be 6.55GB? but my .dmg from TPB is only 6.22GB. And now there is another 9a559 version up that's 6.55GB. Also considering at least one person reported getting the Mac Windows Drivers. I guess I'll grab that one and see what's what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggybong Posted October 6, 2007 Share Posted October 6, 2007 Yea, I grabbed the 6.55gb torrent and the Boot Camp partition is there. That's the only reason for the file size difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you burn 9a559 to a Dual Layer DVD? Otherwise, how did you get the Mac Windows Drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bhouse1587 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 i too have the 6.55gb seed 9a559.. flawless so far but i cant find the windows drivers anywhere on the disk.. i used blind to view all the files in the install package and nothing.. let me know if we can get those drivers somehow!!! i have a 24 inch aluminum imac i also used my old 20gb ipod to install. no DL here yet.. too expensive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killroy Posted October 17, 2007 Author Share Posted October 17, 2007 I never found the Mac Windows Drivers on either the 6.22GB or 6.55GB copy of 9a559. I tried smitty078's method of installing Parallels to no avail. The only thing I did not try was to burn a dual-layer DVD. When the Leopard GM is available I may just spend the $$ for a dual-layer DVD, if all else fails. If and when I'm able to extract the drivers I'll post notice here and make them available on the Green Demon. Hopefully someone will beat me to the punch and save me some time. I'm curious to see how Apple handles updating the Mac Windows Drivers with Leopard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killroy Posted October 24, 2007 Author Share Posted October 24, 2007 Someone has already uploaded the OS X 10.5 (9a581) Boot Camp Mac Windows Drivers to TPB. Hint: APPLE.OSX.10.5.LEOPARD.BOOT.CAMP.FOR.VISTA.XP.PROPER. EDIT: They have already been deleted from TPB. Still on the Green Demon: Drivers Windows for Boot Camp 2.0 (Leopard).
