Even some of the newer models (especially 2009-2010). I've work on various macs and I have noticed that some of the intel-based macs sometimes will recognize the bootable USB drive and some will not. I can assure you that my usb port is functioning correctly (at least during Mac OS X run time). Is it possible that my model is too old such that it doesn't allow booting from USB during boot time? Is it possible that older ROMS do not check for USB drives during boot time (hence explaining why my usb doesn't light up)? I thought my ISO is not bootable so I tried another windows 7 ISO and the results remain the same. Normally the usb stick will light up when inserted into this usb port. Strangely, I noticed that my USB stick does not light up when I unplugged it and reinserted it when my mac is in the boot menu. I tried removing the USB stick while I am still in that menu and plugging it back to see if that will fix the problem. I only see my normal boot partition and a recover partition. Somehow, my usb stick doesn't show up in the boot menu. I pressed option during boot to go into the boot menu. I plugged in my usb and restarted my laptop. I went through bootcamp's "Install or remove Windows 7" option and partitioned 21GB from my harddisk for my windows partition (it's named "BOOTCAMP", MS-DOS (FAT)). I created a windows usb with bootcamp assistant, "Create a Windows 7 or later version install disk" with a windows 7 ISO image.
