first of apologies if repost
I have a Macbook with the following specs and a broken superdrive
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook2,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 3 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
Boot ROM Version: MB21.00A5.B07
SMC Version (system): 1.13f3
I want to install windows 7 with as a bootcamp partiton because running it as a virtual machine Mac and the Virtual machine are not getting enough ram for some of the tasks that i have to perform regularly.
I have tried to install Windows using external harddrive and rEFIt boot menu but i get the error message saying "The Firmware Refuses to Load From This Device, Keep In Mind That Legacy Boot Volumes Are Not Well Supported By The Firmware"
my only option seems to be to create a virtual machine and the somehow transfer this to a bootcamp partiton making it bootable at the start up
any help would be greatly appreciated, by the way I am bit of a newbie to the MAC so open to any and all suggestions.
regards
