Windows 7 on Mac OS X Lion (USB)

[Freddurrr]

I apologise in advance if there is a thread about this, but I did quite a lot of research and I don't fully understand.

Here's my problem:

I have a pretty old MacBook Pro (2008) with OS X Lion on it. My superdrive doesn't work anymore and I want to install Windows on it. (7 or XP, doesn't matter).

Now I have created bootable USB's for both XP and 7 but it doesn't appear when i boot and press alt key.. I have tried with rEFIt but that doesn't work either.

Can someone please help? I have a statistics exam in 4 days and I need windows for it

Too bad no-one answered, I have the same issue, although with a MB Air (2010). Done the bootcamp part, manually installed rEFIt as suggested in other threads, but only get some ubuntu options in EFI. Did you figure it out?

Bump. Same problem here too..
