Ok so I've done this tutorial and everything looks right.. but it crashes as I've heard others experiencing the same insta-crash. now how can I revert Info.plist.bak file ?!!
Hello, I have recently posted a Guide on how to Enable USB Installation on Bootcamp in a thread. I can see that many users are having this issue like some of them don't have SuperDrive or want to install using USB but there Bootcamp doesn't support USB Installation.
So now I will show you how to enable USB Installation on Bootcamp on any unSupported Mac Systems
(MacBook, MacBook Pro, MacBook Air and more.)
Things you required:
- Mac OS X Mavericks
- Bootcamp Assistant
- Terminal
- Xcode (Download from AppStore)
Steps are as Follows:
1. Open Terminal and type the code below, this will copy Info.plist to Desktop as a Backup.
Code:sudo cp /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist Desktop/Info.plist.bak
2. again in Terminal type the code below, It will open Info.plist.
Now move down and Add your BootRom Version under "DARequiredROMVersions" at Top of the List.
(to find BootRom Version open "System Information" from Spotlight)
Code:sudo nano /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/Info.plist
3. move Down again, find "PreUSBBootSupportedModels" and delete "Pre" from a word also add your Model Identifier at Top of the List.
4. now Save and Exit Terminal by Pressing "control + x" then " Y " and "enter"
5. now I assume that you have already installed Xcode, If not Download and Install it now for further steps or else you will get error.
6. After Xcode is installed open Terminal again and type the code below:
Code:sudo codesign -f -s - /Applications/Utilities/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant.app/Contents/MacOS/Boot\ Camp\ Assistant
now It will ask you to read License Agreement, Hit enter to read Agreement and press "control + q" to exit the License Agreement.
after that It will ask you to agree the terms of Software type "agree" and hit enter.
7. Done, now You can install Windows using USB Flash Drive.
If you get any Error or having Problem, Post here.
Thank You

LMAO. This tutorial is practically useless on iMac 2011 models with superdrive DVD.
Those 2011 models will simply not boot Windows installation off a USB. You can force to run usb installation but it triggers True EFI mode where you cannot install graphics and audio drivers. Intel crappy HD graphics is default video device. Apple have purposely locked 2011 imac and mbp.
You need to have a working internal superdrive (External usb superdrive also does not boot into bios based Windows installation)
Why create a USB which you cannot even use? Haha.
If you are that desperate, get hold of Windows PC and download a small free app called rufus (google it). Run it and you can choose to create GPT based UEFI installation or MBR based Bios installation. The utility is straightforward and easy to use.
