    Hello. I've installed Windows 7 on my white macbook (the newish one, not the one that had the black version). My problem is that my leopard install disk isnt installed bootcamp, merely giving me two options: Remote Install Mac OS X and DVD or CD Sharing. Anyone come across these troubles?

    Thank you.

    Are you using Leopard or Snow Leopard? The latter is what you need for Windows 7. The former only does Vista and XP.

    This seems familiar... I think the last time I tried doing that I didn't see the bootcamp install drivers either, but I manually looked through the disc and found the installer.
