Hi,

I just bought a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate and decided to set it up on my Macbook (running OS X 10.5) using Bootcamp.

The install was very straight forward and the graphics and networking worked out of the box. The only issue I had was getting the sound to work. After a bit of googling and experimentation I found the following solution to work:

• Go to http://www.realtek.com/downloads/ and click on the High Definition Audio Codecs link.
• Download the file and run the installer.
• Restart your Mac and when Windows 7 boots back up you should be greeted with the Windows 7 startup theme.

I’m also told that if you use your Mac OS X disk, the drivers are also on there.

I would recommend that you run the Bootcamp utility from the Mac install disk after installing Windows 7 as it maps the keyboard correctly, installs drivers from bluetooth, infrared etc as well as providing a control panel to allow you to choose which OS to boot to etc.
