[QUOTE="SapAuthor, post: 1056583, member: 45836"] This is by far the most annoying problem i've ever come into. My superdrive is broken (phantom of the opera lodged in there, it's the phantom of the macbook...it's there inside my mac). I'm trying to reinstall windows XP or 7 on the bootcamp partition. I've tried to use rEFIt, but for some reason windows XP pro doesn't work (it recognizes the disk but it just goes blank with a blinking line when it tries to boot from disk), windows 7 x64 shows windows loading bar to load the installation but then doesn't go anywhere. I'm getting really annoyed. If i get an external mac superdrive, will THAT work without needing refit? Or will it only look to the internal drive, in which case, can i just disconnect the internal and THEN use an external super drive? Thanks...so annoying... [/QUOTE]
