Dedicated SSD/HDD to install Windows on a MacBook So I have a Late 2008 unibody MacBook. I recently bought a caddy to replace my optical drive with so I can fit a secondary drive in the laptop.

I have a 256 SSD in the main and a brand new 128 SSD to go in the caddy. Ideally I would like to have a Boot Camp install, but really don't want to go playing with the 256 SSD in the main drive with Mac OS X on, for more than one reason - but mainly as I do not have the space on there for the required partition.

Is there anyway to get a Boot Camp setup where the Windows install is on its own disk?
As always, feeling a bit silly answering my own question. But this was quite easy.

So I had two SSD's, one had Mac OS X installed on and was running fine. Because I was putting my second SSD in place of the super drive, but I needed the super drive to install windows-I first removed my Mac OS X SSD and put my to-be-Windows on in it's place.

So my machine had one blank SSD in. Inserted the windows disc to install, got windows on and updated. At this point I had a mac with just windows installed.

Then I swapped the super drive for my windows SSD and put the mac SSD in the main drive slot. From there just press alt on boot-up :D
