I can't Boot from a FireWire HDD. Need help!!!

Hi folks, I'm trying to boot Bootcamp from the MBP (Late 2011) from another disk, which is located in the MacPro via FireWire without success. I don't know why this is happening, nor, I don't know if there is a workaround without having to clean install Windows 7.


Please, if you can drop some light, I will appreciate it.


Thanks,


Ø3 🙂

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4), 8 GB RAM ATI 7770 HD 1 GB DDR5

BootCamp only works with internal drives. No externals, no matter what interface.
