I am having trouble installing windows-7 on a jump drive. A person at the genius bar told me I could do this. I have converted the jump drive (64 GB) to a FAT format, but I have not found a way to save the W-7 (32-bit) on the jump drive. The only option seems to be installing through bootcamp into a partition on my Mac. Can anyone help?
Windows 7 can only be installed to an NTFS formatted drive. Also, Windows itself doesn't allow booting to an external drive, so it's a waste of time installing Win 7 to a jump drive in the first place. There is one workaround for external devices, but it only works with Thunderbolt drives.

Or you can run Windows in a virtual machine, which saves having to reboot to Boot Camp. This allows you to access Mac OS and Windows from one boot.
Thank you Kurt.
Thank you Eric.
You are welcome.
My beloved Mac Mini was stolen Sunday in a burglary of my home. I won't have more Mac Mini issues, but hopefully a newer model labtop. thanks again for your support through my computer issues, KAREN
