Dual Booting Windows 8 + iATKOS ML

Dual Booting Windows 8 + iATKOS ML with both Magic Trackpad and Magic Mouse - Bluetooth Setup

1. In Windows first download:

• The latest version of PTools from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896649.aspx , this will allow you to edit your registry as 'System' later, allowing you to edit your bluetooth device link keys.
• Bootcamp drivers for both Magic Mouse and the Magic Trackpad (you can get these from http://www.trackpadmagic.com or follow the guide there for installation of Bootcamp 4.0 drivers using 7-zip 4.65 and BootCampESD.pkg
• Mouse and Trackpad utilities from: http://www.trackpadmagic.com

2. Install PTools (put files in System Drive:\Windows\System32)

3. Install the drivers for both the trackpad and the magic mouse

4. As you would ordinarily, connect both the trackpad and magic mouse via bluetooth (Add Device etc..)

5. Once installed, right-click and select 'Properties' for either one of the devices and go to the 'Bluetooth' tab, take a note of the 'Unique Identifier' near the bottom of the page under 'Troubleshooting Information' (This will be noted as a series of letters and numbers, eg. 1a:b2:c3:45:67:8d). You will need this later to identify your device in Regedit.

6. Restart your machine and boot into Mac.

7. Connect to either your magic trackpad or mouse as usual via blueooth

8. Open terminal and copy-paste the following command and hit enter:

Code:

sudo defaults read /private/var/root/Library/Preferences/blued.plist

9. Take a note of the link key that this will then give you, this will be a series of letters and numbers formatted for OS. You will need to reverse these for use in Windows. Below is an example:

Code:

Mac: 12345ab6 78c91234 567891d2 3456789e
Windows: 9e785634 d2917856 3412c978 b65a3412

(note how the characters are in pairs, to convert the sequence from Mac to Windows you need to take the last pair of characters (9e), then the one preceeding that (78), then the one before that (56) etc etc until you have reversed the entire sequence)

10. Now connect to your other device and carry out the same procedure to get the link key for that device.

11. Reboot into Windows, neither of your devices will work yet, but fret not!

12. Open the command line tool as an Administrator, Start Menu -> type "cmd", right click on 'cmd.exe' and select 'Run as Administrator'.

13. Copy and paste the following:

Code:

psexec -s -i regedit

14. Hit enter, regedit will now open with full access to the keys you need.

15. Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\servic es\BTHPORT\Parameters\Keys\Unique ID
(Unique ID of your bluetooth adapter not your device, you can find this by going to Device Manager, right-click on your bluetooth adapter, select 'Properties', go to the 'Advanced' tab and see your ID under 'Adddress:')

16. You will see a list of devices in the right-side pane, you can determine which is your trackpad or mouse by using the Unique Identifiers you noted earlier in step 5, right-click on the relevant device and now click 'Modify Binary Data...' and type in the appropriate link key for your device (the link key that you changed into the correct Windows format in step 9)

17. Do this for each device.

18. Exit regedit, click your magic mouse and your trackpad and hey-presto, they'll start working!

19. Reboot and they'll still be bonded and working for Mac!
