Guys, a have one big problem..My customer brought me a macbook with windows 7 installed to do a format and reinstallation, but she is no longer the OSX Lion, and do not know how to install the sound drivers, "touchpad", among other drivers, how to solve this? Where can I find the drivers? The MacBook is now with Windows 8 installed.
MacBook, Windows 7
The Boot Camp Assistant can place the Windows 7 drivers on a DVD or external drive.
Any Windows 8 drivers are in Apple's labs and currently unavailable to the public.

I'm not quite clear on your sitution. An error in your post makes it ambiguous.
If she wants both OS X and Windows on your MacBook, you should use the Recovery Disk Assistant:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1433
Then use the Boot Camp assistant found in the OS X Utilities folder.
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
If she wants only Windows and not OS X, you may try this brute force method:

This is unsupported and not recommended but the download links all point to Apple servers. It will require a bit of computer savvy.
Hope this helps.
The problem is that the customer does not have the OSX Lion ... I can not mount a disk drivers without the disc 1 of OSX Lion ... I don't know who installed the Windows previously, because the MacBook has no more partition with OSX Lion installed :s
Sorry my bad english..
Your English is very good. I don't remember much from my Portugues class.
OK... So we're just reinstalling the Windows drivers.
First, we need to find out which model MacBook you have.
If you don't know, this is the quickest way I know:
1. Go to www.crucial.com
2. Run System Scanner
3. Look for the alpha-numeric model number starting with MA, MB, or MC.
Find your System Identifier by comparing your model number with those found here:

Using the Systerm Identifier, download the correct Boot Camp package here:
http://www.cafe-encounter.net/p682/download-bootcamp-drivers
Use a compression utility like http://www.7-zip.org to browse the archive package for the files you need.
the OSX install disk for OSX 10.7 (snow lepord) has the drivers installed on the disk. in 10.8 (lion) drivers were installed to a external device (CD, DVD, external HD, USB drive, etc...). they are then installed to the windows os.

@aduffbrew thanks for reply again. According to the mac serial, is this here https://selfsolve.apple.com/RegisterProduct.do?productRegister=Y&country=USA&id= 45044D23F5W and scan results is http://www.crucial.com/systemscanner/viewscanbyid.aspx?id=D3735D1631D926C3
One thing i dont understand, as boot BootCampESD.pkg files in Windows, if that's what has to be done is clear ...
You have a Macbook5,1
1. Download the corresponding .pkg file from the Cafe Encounter website listed above. Again, they have direct links to Apple servers and so the files are coming directly from Apple.
2. Manually decompress the file using a compression utility like 7ZIP that handles .PKG files or (as I just found out) change the the file extention from .PKG to .ZIP. They are actually the same format and Windows can unzip it natively.
3. Unpack the contained .DMG (Mac Disc Image File) using a program that can read the format like HFSExplorer:

4. Run the Setup
If that's too convoluted, shoot me an email and I'll send you a link to the files I unpacked just now and you can jump to step 4.
It's a shame to have that Macbook only running Windows.

How to install all the drivers for the MacBook with Windows 7 or 8 without the disk from OSX Lion? Where can I find the drivers?
