I have windows 7 on a DVD but I have a macbook air (no optical drive) but I do have an external drive. I was thinking of how to install it from the ext. drive so I can dual boot using boot camp. Would this work?
1. create partition on ext. drive (fat32)
2. extract dvd files into the ext. drive into that new partition I created
3. make partition using boot camp in macb book air
4. install windows 7
Would this work? I have a 500GB ext.drive (USB) that is used for backing up but I can make a partition on it just this time right?
I also have VM Fusion and I easily installed the .iso file that I made from the dvd by using another computer, but it is rather slow running virtualized. Is it possible to install 7 using Fusion into the internal boot camp partition?
