Well, since you're using Snow Leopard, I'm pretty sure you need the Boot Camp 3 updates which aren't available without Boot Camp 3 first installed. Keep in mind, that the drivers on the disc aren't just for Boot Camp (i.e: reading Mac partitions, support for brightness controls on the keyboard, etc.) but also for your specific Mac's mobo, GPU, CPU, and whatever else. That's mainly why I don't think it'll work even if somehow you did get 2.1 working. I'd recommend asking on forums.macrumors.com. It's a pretty big Mac forum, and you should be able to get more help there.

BootCamp Download Stuck – How to Get Drivers for Macs to run Windows 7 or 8 — updated after BootCamp 5 release June 2013 — Where can you get a direct download of Windows drivers for Macs if BootCamp is stuck, and says ‘could not continue’ or you have some other problem downloading the drivers? Boot Camp comes with your Mac and lets you install Microsoft Windows. No need to download anything yourself — just open Boot Camp Assistant and it will guide you through the rest. How to install Windows using Boot Camp.

Driver acer aspire 4741z notebook for windows 7. EDIT: IIRC, a couple of days ago when I looked at the drivers link you posted, it said you must install BootCamp 2.1 prior to SP3. So, I don't think 2.1'll work anyway. Click to expand.In short, I'm pretty sure you're downloading the wrong version of Boot Camp. This is version 2.x which is for Leopard (10.5), version 3.x is for Snow Leopard (10.6). It also says that Boot Camp 2.1 (which you are downloading) must be installed prior to Windows XP SP3 which you already have, so that might be why it isn't even running. Even if it did work though, it'd probably be wrong/old drivers and software.

I don't know a work around for this, but others on macrumors might, so I suggest making a new thread there.

Some very interesting changes in how Windows is installed in Boot Camp on OS X 10.11 “El Capitan”. When you open Boot Camp Assistant on a new Mac that supports Windows 8 or later, you’ll get the new Boot Camp interface.

Notice the ISO image and partitioning are all on a single screen. Prior to El Capitan, you had to insert a USB Flash Drive and Boot Camp Assistant copied the Windows installer from an ISO disk image to the flash drive, and then downloaded and set up the Windows drivers to the correct location in the installer for the Mac hardware. El Capitan makes this a lot simpler. Just select the ISO and how much space you want from Boot Camp, and then you click Install. After Boot Camp Assistantd completes, OS X restarts to the Windows installer, and you follow the normal Windows installation.

Behind the Scenes So how is this possible? Where is the Windows installer if there is no installation media? Boot Camp Assistant doesn’t just create a Boot Camp partition, but also creates an additional partition called “OSXRESERVED” that is FAT32 formatted.

It places this partition right after the recovery partition, and before the Boot Camp partition, as shown below. The command line make this really clear. Partition 1 is the standard EFI partition, partition 2 is the Mac partition, partition 3 is the Recovery partition.

All standard stuff. Partition 4 is now the OSXRESERVED partition, and partition 5 is the BOOTCAMP partition. You’ll also notice that disk2 is the Windows install ISO disk image that the Windows install files are copied from. The OSXRESERVED partition has all the installer files, the Boot Camp drivers for Windows, and the EFI files for booting. If you are familiar with EFI booting on OS X, you’ll see a familiar setup.

The EFI folder on the OSXRESERVED partition is the same one you would normally find on the EFI partition (normally disk0s1). It appears that newer Macs have the ability to detect this partition and present it to Windows as if it were EFI installation media (such as a DVD or USB Flash drive). So what happens to this partition after you are done installing? During the next boot into OS X, the OSXRESERVED partition is removed and put back into the Core Storage container of the OS X partition: Note that the Device is disk0s5 since the other partition existed on startup, but then it was deleted. On next reboot, this device will change back to disk0s4, which is the standard device location for a Boot Camp partition.
