I have a mbp with a glitchy super drive, it will usually give me an error halfway through a movie, burn, or install disc and it does not want to read my windows 7 dvd. I want to install windows 7 using bootcamp (I have snow leopard) and be able to dual boot. Is there a way that I can install windows 7 from an external drive? I have an external drive that I use for backing up and I'm thinking that I can create a partition in the ext. HD and mount/extract the install dvd on there and boot up from the ext. HD and voila be able to install win 7... is this possible? I don't want to loose my data on my ext. HD that is already there by creating the partition, will I lose it? any other ideas? thanks in advance
