Can I install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on MacBook Pro

I have installed window 7 enterprise 32 bit on my MacBook Pro but it appears no software drivers such as Bluethoot USB Bost Controller, Enternet Controller, FaceTIme HD Camera (Built-in), Network Controller...etc. Then I tried to download Boot Camp Support Software 4 but it did not work.

So, can i install window 7 enterprise 32 bit on Mac? How to solve this problem?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1)

You don't say what year/version Macbook Pro you have. Newer Macbook Pros only support 64 bit Windows. See the tables here to see which Windows your computer supports. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634

There are several reasons you should use 64 bit Windows on a newer Macbook Pro:

Your computer is 64 bit

32 bit Windows can only use about 3.5 GB of your installed ram

32 bit programs run in 64 bit Windows

There is no reason to use 32 bit Windows in a modern Macbook Pro.
