Windows support software

Hello,

yesterday i decided to install Windows Xp on my iMac. It worked fine but the only problem is i am missing the drivers and the windows support software as i don't have wireless internet access. Downloading the Windows Support Software via the Boot-Camp Assistant is not possible as i get the error message "Download is not available". Now my question is: can i get this support softwhere from somewhere else?

Thank you in advance

iMac (21.5-inch Mid 2011), Mac OS X (10.6.8)

It appears from your profile that you are running Snow Leopard. The Windows Support Software for Snow Leopard is on your Snow Leopard Install Disk. There is no download of Windows Support Software for Snow Leopard.

Read the Bootcamp Installation Instructions. http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/Boot_Camp_Install-Setup_10.6.pdf

Or, look at the other Bootcamp Help files http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

This is because i am on my laptop now which has snow leopard installed. I also have an iMac with OSX 10.6.8 version and that's the one i installed Windows Xp on. Maybe i could use my Snow Leopard install disk to get those drivers?
