Guys, I don't know I'm screwed or what, but I need to run Windows on Mac, so I decided to use Bootcamp. I backed-up all my data, and because my computer does not support using an USB stick to install Windows, I edited the Info.plist in the Bootcamp files, got all the data to a 8-GB flash drive, and now my Mac tells me no bootable device found! I cannot boot into OSX either, and I checked my flash drive. Inside was a 64-bit copy of Windows 7 professional with the support files. I should have burned the ISO file to a disk, but it's too late. My Mac is a MacBook Pro 8,1 as stated in the System information. I don't want my Mac to be screwed this time. Now what should I do???:confused: Buy a CD and burn all the info from the flash drive to the CD? Or make the USB drive bootable? Someone please help! I'm relatively new to Macs though, and I don't want to use a virtual machine.
