Q: My MacBook trackpad and keyboard do not work when running Windows 7
A few months back, my MacBooks hard drive failed on me. So, my mac has been sitting in the corner, unused and forgotten. Recently, I have been playing around with computers and their insides, and I found out that the hard drive in my MacBook is just a normal laptop hard drive. I decided to take a hard drive from one of my broken laptops <screen broke>, and put it inside my MacBook. I plugged it in, booted it up, and it booted just fine.
It had me go through a few pages,(the "Start Windows normally or in Safe Mode" pages), and the enter key worked just fine for that. It booted up normally, as a computer should, and all was good. When it got to the log-in menu, I try to type my password, and nothing happens. The mouse won't move at this point either.
This was not done using BootCamp, so I can't get BootCamp Drivers, but is there another way I can get the keyboard and trackpad to work? I want to be able to use my MacBook again, even if it is Windows, because it is a powerful laptop.
Thanks for your time!
MacBook, Windows 7
