Issue with Boot Camp installation

Hi, i have som problem with installing boot camp. I get an error message in the Windows installation guide that my superdrive are missing the correct drivers. I have tried to eject the Windows disk to insert my Snow Leopard recovery disk, but i cant eject it during the set up.


Any suggestions?

Actually, you must have Windows finish its installation before installing the Bootcamp Drivers. When you get in your desktop for the first time, go to: Start> My Computer> Select your Mac's DVD Drive. Look for an "eject" button in the Windows Explorer window.


You may also want to check the Bootcamp Installation guide for Mac OS X Snow Leopard (10.6), it comes handy in these situations:

This is the one for Mac OS X Lion (10.7):

EDIT:

Added a video tutorial from CNET, but follow the Apple Provided installation guide:

This video is more up to date:

Note that the tutorial says that Windows 7 is not compatible, this not longer the case after the release of Bootcamp 3.1.
