You need to clarify something for us first:

Are you trying to install Windows 7 on a USB drive attached to your iMac? Or, are you trying to install Windows 7 on your iMac from a USB drive?

Take a look at these instructions. They're for a MacBook Air but the install method from the USB drive is the same. Let's see if it works for you. LINK

I even read that but now, we can't choose "install later" in bootcamp... :(

Take a look on attached files.

THE problem is, we can't create a Bootcamp part without DVD, and i'm searching a way to bypass that.
