Sorry if this is a little long, but I'm trying to launch windows 7 using bootcamp from an external SSD attached via firewire. I have a year old iMac. I had windows 7 working fine via the internal SSD, but keep running into space issues, so I got the old SSD from my old windows machine, got a firewire cable, & used Winclone to move the partition over, and that worked OK, so I deleted the old partition off the internal SSD. Now I can't boot in windows 7 from bootcamp. Parallel and windows 7 are still working fine, but I can't get windows 7 to work via bootcamp, I get the error listed in the title - "No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key" If i press any key nothing happens. Any idea what's wrong?

Thanks in advance & Happy New Year
