First of all sorry for my english :$

Hi , i got a Macbook pro late 2011(using mavericks) with dual drive ,i took the superdrive out in order to get the ssd in and it works GREAT 😀 but...

I now need to install Windows 7 , what i have done is modify a .plist archive of the bootcamp package to make it think my MBP is a macbook Air after i did this i got to do the bootcamp partiton but when the syste rebooted I did not recognize the booteable usb :/

I have installed rEFIt but it dosent show the usb either

any possible solution?


PD: the partition was made in the secondary HDD because i didnt let me select the SSD !
Thanks.

You can try following the instructions here. Otherwise, you're going to have to replace the SuperDrive and install Windows from that.

If i replace the HDD for the SDD and put the superdrive back in do the bootcamp and then swap everything again you think ill have any problem?

That will work.

That's what I do. No issues whatsoever, and it takes me less time overall than fiddling with the VMWare method I linked to above.
