The drivers are included on the original discs that came with the computer as well as on the installer dvd used to install the version of OS X you are using. They cannot be downloaded although updates can be freely downloaded.

I do not have the origional cds as i purchases this used however i do have some of the install cds for apple. such as the tiger 10.4 however nothing is on there.

i dont want to run osx at all i just want windows xp drivers can i simply buy or download the proper install cd for lion. is this cd generic or do i need a specific cd for my hardware as the tiger was for more than system/hardware.

i no longer have a mac os to use, i dont want to use a mac os. i dont want to use the bootcamp if possible. why is this so complicated? is this one of those apple deals where i need to have a osx and boot to even run the xp?

other options, can i rip this software out and put win 7 or 8 easily. however i would perfer to avoid that as this model is only 32bit capable. can I install ubuntu with ease? any other os options,

Install Windows. Boot Windows. Insert the Tiger DVD. In a few minutes the installer for the drivers should load.

Perhaps if you read the Boot Camp documentation you'd know what to do.

If you want to make things simple go buy a PC.

I inserted the lion cd and nothing happened. no folders or anything on the dvd.

the documentation is not model specific.

I want to know how to obtain the drivers only. if the cd/dvd is the only way. what is the exact lion version cd i need. the dvd i had no luck with was tiger 10.4 8A428

Maybe if you are less rude and insulting to someone else, they will help you. I've no inclination of going further with someone who doesn't know what they are doing but tries to talk like a wizard.

You did not insert the Lion CD, that is why nothing happened

There is no such thing as a Lion CD, that is why.

Lion is supplied as a download from the MAS, or (rarely) as a thumb drive $69 from an Apple Store. It is way too large to fit on a CD, so where did you get this 'CD'
