Changes in Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta
Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta contains several updates and is intended for all new and previous Boot Camp beta users.
Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta includes:
• Support for the latest Intel-based Macintosh computers
• Easier partitioning using presets for popular sizes
• Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk
• Support for built-in iSight cameras
• Support for built-in microphones
• Support for the Apple USB Modem
• Trackpad scrolling and right-click support on Apple Laptops
• Improved Apple keyboard support including Delete, PrintScreen, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys
• Improved International Apple keyboard support
Updating to Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta
If you previously installed Boot Camp beta, you can easily update to Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta. You do not need to partition your hard drive again (unless you want to change its size) or reinstall your Macintosh and Windows software or documents, but it is very important to update the Boot Camp Assistant software, create a new Macintosh Drivers for Windows CD and install the updated software it contains on Windows XP. Complete instructions are provided in the Installation and Setup Guide included with the Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta software.
Once the new version downloaded and installed, to update Windows drivers, you can use the option located in Boot Camp Assistant and entitled "Save Macintosh Drivers in folder...". This option is located in the menu "Utilities" of the Assistant. It allows you to save a .exe package on your Windows partition while avoiding burning a CD.
If you have problems launching Boot Camp Assistant (MacIntel with RAID, etc...), but still need to recover drivers without burning a CD or CDRW:
Go to the folder Utilities, then select Boot Camp Assistant, and thanks to a right-click select "Display package contents". Then go to the folder Contents/Resources, you should find an image entitled: "DiskImage.dmg"
Double click on it to mount, and then open it, you should find a file named: "Install Macintosh Drivers for Windows XP.exe". That's the installer :)
