MacBook Pro Clean Install of Vista w/no bootcamp.

PC:

MacBook Pro 17"
T2600 @ 2.16GHz 2.17GHz
2032 MB
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600


I have read a ton of different thread's about this subject but every single one is based on bootcamp and a dual boot with apple & windows.

That is not what I am doing nor what I want . I want a perfectly normel install on a freshly formatted Drive.


I did this and it did work except ::::::::::


there are drivers that arnt being recognized and there is keymapping and bluetooth problem.



I used :

Inputremapper_1_0_04_release - this fixed all the key mapping, fan control , screen lightening,and sound control.

I then manually installed the iSight Driver which semed to work.

I have "Install macintosh drivers for windows .exe" but it really didnt do much that wasnt already done:)

What are some other easy to use driver's I can install :

I have OS X Tiger on another Mac so I have a disk at least.

Is there a download site for them that anyone know's about for those driver's? I dont know if they are protected or anything. A couple of device's are unknown which make's it fun for the whole family.

I have been searching for a thread covering the complete thing but havent had any success yet.

help:)

If you had a Leopard install disk (instead of a Tiger disk) then you could install Apple's hardware drivers for Windows directly from the Leopard disk, and that would probably solve most of your key mapping and bluetooth issues -- as well as some other problems which you may have not yet even noticed. However, since you're working with a Tiger disk, you're going to need to have access to MacOS X in order to create the drivers CD, because prior to the release of Leopard, Apple distributed their drivers exclusively as part of the BootCamp beta -- which only launches under MacOS X. (This is why most discussions related to Windows-on-Mac always reference using the BootCamp Assistant at some point -- it didn't used to be possible to get the Apple drivers any other way.)

Aarathi recently posted in a separate thread that you can still obtain the BootCamp beta from MacUpdate.com (http://forum.onmac.net/www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/21237) -- but that may only be because Apple hasn't noticed that they're still hosting the file, even though the license to use it has expired. If Apple decides to go "Legal" on them, then it could disappear at any time, so get it while you still can.

1 . I found "Install macintosh drivers for window's xp.exe" and use "inputRemapper 1_0_04" which take's care of the fan and backlight isssue's.

2. Unfortunitly 3 driver's are still missing & the bluetooth show's but doesnt function.


I found this old post and it show's exactly what I am seeing on my end but doesnt show a solution . I sent a email to the blogger and am waiting for a response.

Anyone know anything here I dont?

I installed Window's XP (upgrade) by inserting the disk into the MacBookPro and though I was unable to eject the disk when XP asked to validate a older full version of window's I plugged in a external (USB) DVD/CDRW with my Win 98 disk in it and voila it installed.


No BootCamp.


Anybody know anything that would help , even link's maybe?
