I've been trying for a week to get my 2011 MBP to dual boot via Bootcamp and I'm having no luck.

I've removed my Superdrive and added a 2nd HD in it's place so I'm booting from a USB CDROM drive, however I can't get the MAC to boot correctly using this. I've tested the CDs on a PC so i know they are Ok. When I boot and hold th eoption key i'm given the option of the CD boot, but when I select it it just doesn't boot and gives me a non bootable device message

I've also tried loads of different ways of creating a USB bootable flash drive and none of them will boot on my Mac.

Any tips to help me out?
