Q: install windows 7 from external dvd drive iMac

Good Day,

I have an iMac 12,2 with non working internal dvd drive. I purchase an external dvd drive and want to install my windows 7 from it. Everytime I try to run bootcamp and follow the wizard, creates partition, sees my windows dvd in the external drive and when I reboot the installer stays at the black screen with a flashing arrow. I am being told this is because windows 7 cannot be installed from external dvd drive. Is there any workarounds for this.

Thank you
