If that doesn’t work, you probably accidentally deleted your OS X partition.

When I try and install the network controller, it can't find the appropriate driver when you ask vista to locate in the drivers folder. I can't do a admin install because I can't even right click. I think Vista is beautiful, by the way. Way better looking than xp.

I even went as far as hacking onto the DELL website to retrieve the new SigmaTel Audio Codec driver (considering the Macintosh Drivers CD doesn't work for me when I follow your walk-through), which installed properly, and shows the sound decibel meter going up and down and everything (i.e. recognizing sound), but no sound is being produced AT ALL! What's the problem here? I UPGRADED from XP on bootcamp to VISTA. Is that what everyone else did? Please reply... I want some sound! Haha. Thanks.
