Setting up Boot Camp (cont'd)

This HOWTO is continued from the previous blog entry. Therefore, the list below really should start with #6. :-)

1. With the machine booted in Windows, I inserted the OS X Leopard installation disc 1, and it automatically launched the driver installation wizard.
   
   
2. Click continue, accept the terms, and stand by, watching the fireworks as Windows flashes windows by, blip-blops a bit (this is where I'm starting to wonder if the nightmare that I described in a previous blog entry is about to come true...), and after a few minutes halts after all drivers have been installed. Success. Simple. Thanks!
   
   
3. Click yes to restart the computer.
   
   
4. When the computer is restarting, don't forget to hold down the options key, to manually make sure that you are booted back into Windows.
   
   
5. According to the Boot Camp setup guide, after the restart the Add Hardware Wizard should be run to have the drivers updated when installing XP. The wizard didn't appear for me, though, so I just figured that the drivers are already up-to-date. (I did check it manually with "Add hardware" in the control panel, but it didn't detect anything new either).
   
   
6. I guess that's it! I checked that the installation was successful by simulating a right-click by putting two fingers on the touch pad while clicking, and it worked just fine.
   
   
7. Since I will soon get a new machine anyway, I hesitated a little before deciding to activate Windows. It should be no problem though, since as far as I know, every license can be activated a few times without fuzz.
   
   
8. I then went ahead and installed not Windows Update, but Microsoft Update, a newer update agent that apparently will take care of updating not only Windows but also Office and other Microsoft apps as well.
   
   
9. First time around it hung while searching for new versions, but the second time around it seems to be working just fine.

End of round 2, time for bed, I got up 05.45 this morning...
