Hi all,
Since I encountered quite some issues during my installation of Windows on an external drive, but I succeeded in the end, I have made another very detailed guide on how to proceed, step by step:

It's really straight forward in definitive, once you know what to do.
Hope this will be helpful for some people out here
When using a VirtualMachine (VMware Fusion) to prep the target drive (Thunderbolt on Seagate adapter), how do you make the external Thunderbolt drive attach to the VM so that you can do the partitioning and formatting?
Mine does not see it, and I am unable to mount it to the VM.
EDIT:
I cannot see the external drive with it mounted to either a GoFlex Thunderbolt adapter or a GoFlex USB-3.0 adapter (gave me a driver error) from the Virtual Machine Windows 7. However, when I attached the GoFlex USB-3.0 adapter to a USB-2.0 hub, forcing a USB-2 connection, it mounted to the Windows VM and I was able to proceed with the partitioning, formatting, and imagex configure. Now to reboot with the drive on the Thunderbolt and attempt finishing the installation.
