    Do you have a retail OS X disk or the Grey restore disks? Please also see How to install OS X on an external drive connected to your Mac - Apple Support .

    No, i haven't.

    The computer is second hand and was without OSX, only with windows 7 ultimate. I actually re installed it, but half devices dont work- audio, Performance counters, some USB input device, ACPI\APP0002, USB\VID_05AC&PID_8300&REV_000, ACPI\IFX0101. Tryed to install manualy those drivers, but without succes.

    Can you run msinfo32 and check what is the BIOS Mode of the installation? It should look similar to the following.

    That is. When try to install boot camp 3.3 , it pops a message that says no need to install it because it's up to date.

    Now will try to install with SP 1 integrated.
