Hey there!

Recently I've been wanting to run the new Windows 8 Preview on my MacBook (unibody, 2008 model). I have the iso and I know I can run it through side-by-side software like VMWare and VirtualBox, but I want to be able to boot up from my computer to the software.

BootCamp was my first guess, but my Super Drive isn't working and I wanted to see if I could mount the iso to a USB/SD Card so that BootCamp could recognize it, or manualy install it on a separate partition.

I've tried countless ways, but I can't seem to get it and I would love some help. Please let me know how you think this could be done, thanks!
