    hi!

    i was trying to install windows 7 on my macbook pro. however, when i tried to use the bootcamp assistant and download "the windows support software" it would not burn to a cd or dvd.

    my previous use of bootcamp assistant, prior to apple update 10.6.6, did not have this option of downloading "the windows support software" and i can just go straight in the installation of windows and use the bootcamp drivers that comes with my installation disk.

    anyone have the same issue?

    i just install windows on a MBA and i put the drivers on a thumb drive and the windows installation on another thumb drive because i don't have an external ODD you can do that instead of burning a disc
