Hi!
i've been playing around with my WD thunderbolt duo. I did manage to install windows 7 on it. But it only boots when i have a bootcamp partition on the internal SSD.
When i formated the SSD, and removed the bootcamp partition, the thunderbolt drive with windows on it, would no longer show up during the boot sequence. So i guess there is something on there that telles EFI what to, when booting something other than OSX...
I would really like to be able to run windows off this thing, partitioning the internal SSD isnt really worth it.
* You can boot off TB, Unlike USB, as Windows see the TB Drive as an internal drive (SATA on PCIx bus via TB)
Would cloning the bootcamp partition with Norton ghost or carbon copy do the trick?
* This is on a rMBP
