Bryan Smart has a talking Windows preinstallation environment which is an
image you can burn to a DVD on Bryansmart.com, which is with a y instead of
an I on Bryan. I just heard some podcasts that said this supports doing it
in Boot Camp now. Maybe that would have all the needed drivers, at least it
will come up talking though.

Subject: bootcamp and windows without sighted assistance
Dear listers,
Installing windows without sighted help on a mac is easy as 1 2 3 if you use
fusion, but what a job it is, without sighted help for bootcamp. If you have
experience with this, then I hope you can help.
There are a number of podcasts and guides on installing windows into a
bootcamp partition on a mac. Unfortunately, none of them seem to give the
entire, complete picture. In my specific case, I'm running into an error
message, which of course falls outside the scope of podcasts.
There is a helpful, very short written guide on the net, done by a blind
user, who explains in detail how to do it. He of she wrote, that after
booting the mac from the windows installation dvd, you first have a screen
where you select the language, the advice is to press enter and that works,
while the next screen has a button called: install now. That is true, but
I'm getting the error:
a required cd/dvd drive device driver is missing. If you have a driver
floppy disk, cd, dvd, or usb flash drive, please insert it now.
This message comes up after hitting install now, and I found no way to
continue. Google gave an article where you should be able to hit a button
called disk options, format your destination partition first, and then go on
with the installation. Sounds very logical and acceptable, But that turned
out to be true for windows 8, not 7. According to my wife, I don't have the
disk options button, just install now, or repair. So after hitting install
now, on the second screen, I'm getting this. Any idea how to work around
this? The bootcamp driver software is supposed to be installed after windows
is up and well, not before hand.
There are more questions, but if you can help me with this one, that would
be awesome, as I can then at least continue normal windows installation,
given sighted help.
Kind regards,
Paul.
