Re: Fusion/boot camp thread
I did need sighted asistence to install 7 on to boocamp just to make sure everything went smoothly and I did not have any drovers installed so I did need sighted asistence. Take care.

Re: Fusion/boot camp thread
Hi, yes, but how would you get to them before actually installing? With any accessibility, that is. Unless, of course, you can access the part of the partition that already exists with the Mac. But then you'd have to shut everything down, check the logs, then start it up again. The error might hold up the install. As a side note, THe AIK is huge. I'd be interested if you could write me privately as well with some tips with the AIK, getting around it if errors happen, etc. I'd like to attempt it again at some point with Windows 7. I'd like to trust automation of this kind of task just a little bit. Thanks.

It involves using Windows Automated Installation Kit (AIK) to generate an XML file with the answers that are needed for propper setup of Windows Vista and 7.
