Bootcamp Drivers for Windows Server 2003

Hi,

I've just installed Windows Server 2003 on my Mac through Bootcamp, but I'm unable to install the Bootcamp drivers, is there a solution?

Thanks

You're welcome anytime.

Depending on your Win2K3 version (32-bit or 64-bit) you should find the needed drivers.

However, since XP 64-bit is not supported by Apples BootCamp, you won't find any drivers at all for it on the DVD.
Therefor you would then have to go to the hardware manufacturer websites to gather the needed drivers from there.

Good luck and if yyou like, please report on thze outcome.

Hi,

Windows Server 2003 is not on Apples BootCamp list of supported Windows versions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1899

Therefor the 'automatic' setup of the Bootcamp Drivers from the OSX DVD fails.

Since in essence Win2K3 shares a lot with XP you might be able to install the drivers manually by going into the appropriate folder on the OSX DVD and start the setup 'by hand'.

Hi,

add the 'fn'-key to the ctrl-alt-del key combo as it usually changes the (backspace) delete into a forward-delete.

Hope it helps

I'm facing another problem. To open a session on Win Server 2003 I need to press ctrlaltdel (there is no del in a regular Mac keyboard) is there a workaround?
