How to install Windows 7 Bootcamp using iso file (without USB/DVD)

bootcampdual-bootoptical-driveusb

I have a MacBook Pro and I need to install Windows 7 besides Mac OS X so I can play games on it.

The problem is that I don't have a USB stick or DVD to copy the Win7 iso image like Bootcamp requires.

Can I install Win7 using an internal partition of my hard disk?

Best Answer

Here might be a solution :

  1. Create a new partition (at least 8Gig)
  2. Copy the iso on it
  3. Try booting on it
  4. If it works reboot and create a new Bootcamp partition
  5. Try installing Windows on the bootcamp partition

If this don't work, You'll need a USB drive.
