Hi guys.

Bought the new retina pro.
Something totally slipped my mind (still would have bought it anyhow..)
How do i install Bootcamp (or a windows image in Parallels) onto my Retina MBP?

Obvious reason for the install problem is, the Retina doesn't come stock with an optical drive.

Methods for Bootcamp/Parallels windows install without optical drive would be very appreciated :D

Suggestions to purchase an external drive have been noted, but that doesnt seem financially feesable atm...

Thank you :D
