Helle everyone,

So here is the situation:

- Trying to install windows 7 from USB with the boot camp assistant on my Macbook (late 2009)
- I replaced my superdrive with an SSD, so no superdrive available
- Read that I had to adjust the info.plist from the bootcamp assistant.
- Added my boot-rom-version (MB51.007D.B03)
- Added my model (MacBook5,1)

Problem: Now bootcamp-assistant crashes right on startup.
When I change back the lines it boots up normal.

Here is my adjusted .plist:
