In the end I saved myself HOURS of messing around by just putting the superdrive back into the Macbook Pro, installing boot camp using the internal superdrive, and then taking it out again.ĭamnit!! i am so frustrated now have been searching for hours how to get my problem resolved, which i think is the same as yours, i believe. something about no bootable disc or drive or something. The Macbook Air w/o external superdrive guide (the one using rEFIt) didn't work for me on the MBP either, I kept getting an error message, don't remember what it said exactly. I wouldn't waste your time on this, and just try doing it another time. That's the general consensus I found anyway, obviously I haven't tested all external DVD drives on all setups, but judging from many forum posts complaining about the same problem it seems to be true. Seems Apple did something special to the firmware or something that lets it work. Even on PC's.Īpparently the only DVD drive that will boot Windows is the Macbook Air external super drive, and then, ONLY on the Macbook Air, not on the MBP. It turns out: Windows won't boot from an external DVD drive. I've spent DAYS trying to figure this out.
