Clarification about Windows XP (32 bit)

Hello,
I was told that CS6 can only run on a 64 bit processor (even if the OS is 32bit).
However I see in this page http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/tech-specs.html
that it can run on Intel® Pentium® 4 which is not necessarily a 64 bit processor.
I would like to check if CS6 can run on with Windows XP SP3 32 bit on a 32 bit processor.
I understand some of the graphic accelerations may/will not work.
And eventually anybody has experience installing CS6 on a 32 bit processor?
Many thanks in advance.

Yes.
See http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/64-bit-os-benefits-limitations.html
Note also that 3D features in Photoshop Extended (probably the main reason for buying the Extended version) will not be available if you install CS6 Extended on Windows XP.
So the 3D menu will not be visible in CS6 Extended when using Windows XP.
"* 3D features and some GPU-enabled features are not supported on Windows XP."

I have tried to download Firefox 4 from Mozilla about seven times. My desktop has Windows 7 - 64 bit. And the download always hangs at about 47% to 49%.
I have DSL and on my 32 bit Vista PC I did not have a problem downloading and installing Firefox 4. It is just on the Windows 7 - 64 bit that all the Firefox 4 downloads hang. I just tried to "save" it on the download but it hanged again. The "run" didn't work either.
Please email me if you find out what is causing the Firefox 4 to hang.

Hi alhuggins,
We are aware of the crash with the online installer and are working to resolve it.
The first time it crashed, how many Flash Player install files did you have in your downloads directory, and what are their file names (if you still have the information).
The offline installer, posted at the bottom of the Installation problems | Flash Player | Mac page, in the 'Still having problems' section should not crash.

About to Take the Plunge: Windows 7 64 Bit on T61p. Help me prepare please!

Gents I'm about to do a clean install of WIndows 7 64 bit onto my T61p to upgrade away from the wretched Vista Ultimate. Can you please help me prepare for the transition? What should I expect? Anything I can do in advance to prepare as far as BIOS, drivers, etc? Thank you in advance. I use little to none of the ThinkVantage features. Just plain vanilla user-- surf web, stream Itunes, Bloomberg for finance, etc. Thanks again.

I clean installed W7 x64 on my T61p and it works a treat, as mentioned above by Aryeh Goretsky the card reader was the only obstinate item which TVSU didn't grab for me
Here's where to find the official Lenovo guide to clean installing W7. In it it does state "The bios for each system being installed should be upgraded to the most current for each machine type. There are bios updates for Windows 7 that will be needed. The machine specific bios can be found on the Lenovo support website."
If you do decide you need to upadte the BIOS I very stronly urge you only to do so using the ISO bootable cd method.

On Windows 7 64 bit Firefox hangs after about 10 seconds. This was a clean install on a brand new computer.

I have to end it with Task Manager.

I have an old PSUS4 and a Samsung ML-2010R. Both work perfectly so my issues are mostly with getting them to work each time I step up to the next Microsoft OS. The post by wdboer helped me get my Windows 7 32-bit PC connected to my printer over the LAN and via the PSUS4 so many thanks to wdboer.
I upgraded to a 64-bit PC with Windows 8 and followed the same instructions and used the Universal Printer Driver downloaded from Samsung but all I got was the printer to 'wake up' but it printed nothing (a direct USB cable connection worked fine). I finally got the printer to work by;
1. Windows 8 Control Panel
2. Device and Printers
3. Right click on the newly installed printer
4. Click on the Device Options tab
5. Selecting the Printer Model drop down and selecting Samsung ML-2010 Series followed by Apply
When I went back to the General Tab and clicked on Print Test Page, the printer woke up and printed the test page
Cheers, R

Faulty, noisy grey prints from LR 2.6 64-bit, Windows 7 64-bit, HP B9180

I've been using Lightroom for about a year, and recently retired my old Windows XP 32-bit system and built a brand new AMD Quad-core Windows 7 64-bit PC. The C: drive is a brand new Kingston V+ SSD 128GB, supplemented by a 1TB SATA3 WD Caviar Black D: drive. My LR Catalog resides on the SSD C: drive (carried over from the old system), though my photo storage is on a LaCie 1TB eSATA disk. I currently have 4GB of DDR3 high-quality RAM (I do plan to add more) and run a largely trouble-free HP Photosmart Pro B9180 printer via USB 2.0 cable. My catalog and photos are all nicely intact onscreen, but I have the following problem when I use the Print Module:
Prints from Lightroom 2.6 64-bit for Win 7 (a fresh install) come out of the printer as large fields of grey noise (!) They are quite difficult to describe, but they are absolutely not a simple profile problem in any way that I can imagine. That is, the entire printed photo is grey noise (actually quite a bit of chroma noise as well on close viewing) but perfectly white borders if the print is set up for borders . If the photo has any very white highlight or very dark/black shadow areas, those portions do appear in the print as white highlights or red shadows, respectively. Other than those extreme highlight and shadow areas, the print is absolutely unrecognizable, appearing as only greyish chroma noise. ????
This problem is true for all of the follwing situations:
Whether the source file is .JPG or Canon RAW
Whether I print on Glossy Advanced or Plain Paper
Whether I print in Best, Normal, or FastDraft mode (from the printer driver)
Whether I try Application Managed Color, Printer Managed Color, or no color management at all
The one exception to this problem occurs only when I select the Draft Mode Printing checkbox in the LR Print Module and go on to print in draft mode. In this case only, I can get a recognizable print (a typical draft quality print is made without any other problems).
I do not have problems printing from Open Office, Firefox, or even full photo-output prints from Canon Digital Photo Professional of the same image files (without LR adjustments, naturally), nor did I have this problem printing in LR 2 32-bit on my old XP system (It may have been version 2.5 the last print I made, however).
I have already perfomed a "repair-install" of a freshly downloaded LR 2.6 64-bit installer, yet the problem remains. I have not yet tried to completely remove LR before reinstalling. I have not yet reinstalled my HP 64-bit printer drivers, as the problem was limited to Lightroom. Happy to post images if helpful (I'm new here, I'll have to check the rules and instructions).
Have not found anyone else with this problem in my searches. Any help would be greatly appreciated, as this is extremely disruptive to my workflow and revenue stream
Camron
EDIT: Photo of comparison prints: Canon DPP on left, LR 2.6 on right (same image file)

Thanks for the suggestions. I have tried each idea in the order suggested. Unfortunately I have not yet solved the problem. In some circumstances, with certain paper profiles and no other color management in place, I get faulty prints but they have large areas of solid color in areas where there is a large amounts of color saturation in the original image. The faulty image below is printed to plain letter-sized paper ar Normal Quality. One clarification I wish to make is that my HP printer driver was not specifically a 64-bit driver, but rather 32-bit/64-bit driver compatable for Win 7.
I may try completely uninstalling LR before reinstalling, instead of a "repair-install" but I am still open to other suggestions.

I install iTunes on Windows 7 64-bit, it opens, it crashes

The subject says it all, pretty much.
- I install the latest iTunes (downloaded 01/31/2014)
- I open it, then go to iTunes store, and it hangs itself after login
OR
- I open it, then close it, then hold SHIFT and double-click, as I want the library on a separate drive. I can select the drive, but in the meantime, the program hangs itself. In this case, onlt for about 30 minutes. Then it asks if I want to see the tutorials. I try to close it. It's been running in this state for over 8 hours now.
I've tried uninstalling everything related to itunes, even removing all files from the registry. Each time I install, I get the same result. I have not prior install history left on this PC, as no install had been ever authorized when I had it on this machine for a few days back 3-4 months ago. The machine I used before has been repurposed, and doesn't have the software anymore... But it's also Windows 7 64-bit
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

When I run the iTunes64setup.exe it says: "The thingy is not a valid win32 application."
That generally indicates that the installer has been getting damaged on the download.
What web browser have you been using for downloading the iTunes64Setup.exe? Does it make any difference if you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa)?

Unable to install HP Laserjet P1005 on a Windows 7 64-bit OS system

I have attempted to install both the full package and just the driver for an HP Laserjet P1005 local printer to my personal PC which I updated the OS to MS WIndows 7, 64-bit version numerous times and I have been unsuccessful each time. On each attempt to run the installer, whether it be the full version or just the driver, and you come to the point in the installation process where you are to plug in your local printer's USB cable to your PC I keep encountering an error message indicating that the USB device is not recognized. A further investigation reveals that there is in fact an unknown device. I click on this and I encounter a Microsoft generated message which indicates the following information - Windows has stopped this device because it has reported problems. (Code 43)
The following Microsoft web site - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310123
has the following Recommended resolution
One of the drivers controlling the device notified the operating system that the device failed in some manner.
If you have already run the Troubleshooting Wizard, you might want to check the hardware documentation for more information about diagnosing the problem.
Well, I went through all of the above recommended actions and I got nowhere. I went back on the web and did some further research. This time I found the following information at the following HP web page -http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareDownloadIndex?softwareitem=bi-59850-1&lc=en&dlc=en&cc=us&lang=en&os=1060&product=3435668
This was a link to an HP web page which pertained to a so-called repair utility software that was for an HP Laserjet P1000 and P1500 Series Plug and Play Recovery Utility.I tried this but it has not rectified my problem installing the driver for my local printer.If you have the magical solution to this problem I would appreciate it if you could provide it to me. Thank you.

WendyM: I seem to have EXACTLY the same problem...
- New Sony Vaio with Windows 7 Home Basic 64bit factory installed
- HP LaserJet P1005 as a local printer
- P1005 was first installed on the Vaio using the original install CD and sort of worked
- worked OK for the installing user but only intermittently for the other user
- both users had problems with the printer queue locking up in various situations (only solution was to reboot)
- decide to try and update the installation of the printer
- downloaded both the driver files you speak of from HP
- small Plug and Play file (c4Mb) got into endless loop when trying to pre-install drivers and had to be killed
- large full installation file (c167Mb) also failed to install properly
- tried uninstalling and rebooting various times after various failed attempts to get this full package to work.
- situation now is that the P1005 is simply uninstallable on the Vaio but continues to work fine on two XP machines (see below)
- a detail: when the P1005 is plugged into any machine (Vaio or XPs) USB reports that it could run faster if it was on a USB 2.0 port
- this seems to be a strange message on a 2010 Sony Vaio which obviously has USB 2.0 ports
- stranger yet, the XPs are completely unaffected by this message, and print to the P1005 normally, as they always have
The XP machines:
- One XP machine is an old 2006 HP Pavilion
- The other XP machine is a 2009 Acer netbook
- both machines with their original factory installed XPs, and both regularly updated
- the P1005 is a local printer on all machines
- each machine is plugged into it when printing is needed and the 2 XP machines always connect and print, regardless of the USB speed message
- the P1005 even works from the XPs via an unpowered USB physical hub with a USB mouse connected as well
HP really seem to have gotten themselves into a rather shameful mess over their printer drivers. In the year 2010 it seems insane that plugging a printer into a computer is so stunningly complex.
Indeed HP seems to be going rapidly backwards. The Vaio was bought to replace the old 2006 Pavilion (an excellent machine which has never put a foot wrong despite the most intensive use, and which continues to work fine if a little slowly in comparrison to the newer machines) because when we saw the HP replacement we were so repelled by its awful ergonomics, physical appearance, and ragged construction (raw metal edges round the front corners!) in comparisson to the Pavilion that we didn't need any convincing to buy the wonderfully constructed Vaio. Now we discover that a printer that works fine on XPs is unusable on Windows 7. A strange form of progress indeed.
For many years I revered the quality of HP products. No longer I'm afraid. The Pavilion became a Vaio. I wonder what will take the place of the P1005 (I am actually being extremely restrained about the P1005 because it compares miserably with its sturdy predecessor: our sadly missed HP LaserJet 1010),

Re: ATI HD 2600 PRO WINDOWS 7 64 BIT BOOTCAMP DRIVER ERROR

Okay - I *think* I was able to get the modified INF to work properly now - it turns out there were many more instances where changes needed to be made that my original procedure did not address. The updated procedure is below with additional steps added.
Procedure to manually update iMac Radeon HD 2600 PRO video card under Windows 7 (64 bit).
Rationale:
> Boot Camp drivers incorrectly identify the video card my 24" iMac (Dual core; 2.8 GHz - graphics card is shown as a "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT") - this has been a long-standing problem when using my iMac under Boot Camp. There have been reports about how to update the drivers manually by obtaining them from ATI/AMD then installing them.
Background:
> When I was previously running Windows XP, I was able to perform the graphics driver update per the online instructions, without any problems.
> When I updated to Windows 7, 64-bit (because I was updated my Mac OS to 10.7 [Lion] and Windows XP was no longer supported in Boot Camp), I could no longer update the graphic card drivers to the Win7 64-bit version (it was giving an error that the driver was not supported).
> The solution I finally came upon was to modify the installer .INF file that comes with the drivers from AMD. I take no credit for this, except from the fact that I adapted a procedure I found for doing this for graphics cards in notebooks. The original place I found this is here <http://forum.notebookreview.com/gaming-software-graphics-cards/370695-guide-upda ting-your-ati-drivers-manually.html>.
NOTE & DISCLAIMER: I don't claim to fully understand every step that is going on here, nor if every step is needed. I based this on the procedure referenced in link immediately above and it seems to be working for me (that is, my graphics card driver was updated for Win7, 64-bit just like had been previously under WinXP) - YMMV.
>> This procedure was done with the AMD Radeon™ Desktop Video Card Drivers for "64 bit Windows Vista/Windows 7 "; Version 11.7, posted 2011-07-27 (main page: http://support.amd.com/US/Pages/AMDSupportHub.aspx)
1. Driver only was downloaded from AMD.
2. Downloaded file was installed to default location: C:\ATI
3. Gather info about the graphics card:
a. Open the Device Manager (Start>Computer [right-click]>Properties)
b. Expand the "Display Adapters" item to reveal the GPU (mine was listed as "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT")
c. Right-click on the GPU and select "Properties"
d. Click the "Details" tab in the Properties window.
e. Click the drop-down under "Property" (top item should say "Device description) - find the item in the list that says "Hardware Ids"
>> There were four values for my card, shown below:
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
f. Right click on the first value and select "Copy" - paste it into a separate document.
g. Go back and click the drop-down under "Property" - find the item in the list that says "Inf section" (it was far down the list).
h. Copy the value shown there and paste into a separate document; my value read: ati2mtag_M76
4. Modify the INF file from AMD:
a. First thing I did was make a copy of the directory containing the files that were installed in step 2 (located at C:\ATI) - my directory was called "11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd".
b. Go into this path: C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF
c. Find the INF files (icon is a document with a gear on it), that start with "C7..." and "CH..." (mine were called "C7122569" & "CH122569").
d. Open the "C7..." file (it opens in Notepad).
e. The first thing I did was find and replace all existing instances of "M76" in the INF (I arbitrarily replaced it with the following value "M7a6"). There are a number of existing references to this property type in the original INF.
> I do not know if this is absolutely necessary but I found that it helped me to distinguish what was originally there with what I was modifying.
f. Do a "Find" command for "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" (if you search for a shorter phrase, be aware there are other "2600 PRO" cards in the list).
> The exact line I found was <"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9589>
g. Replace that line with the Inf section value and the first Hardware ID value, using the same format as the original line. The new entry I made read (notice that each successive entry has an addition <space> between the end of 'PRO' and the ending double quote):
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B&REV_00
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&SUBSYS_0083106B
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_030000
"ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO " = ati2mtag_M76, PCI\VEN_1002&DEV_9583&CC_0300
h. Next do a find for all instances of "ati2mtag_RV630"; for every instance you will need to replace that value with " ati2mtag_M76".
i. Next do another find for "RV630" and make sure to replace all instances with "M76" (this is to catch the couple of places where it doesn't have the "ati2mtag" prefix)
j. Close the file, saving your changes.
k. Repeat steps 4d - 4i, using the "CH..." file.
> I personally do not think this is needed since I believe the "C7…" INF is for Windows 7 and "CH…" is for Vista, but I modified both anyway.
5. Update the graphics driver using the modified INF files:
a. Go back to the Device Manager and expand the "Display Adapters" item again to show the "ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 XT" GPU
b. Right-click on the GPU and select "Update Driver Software..."
c. In the resulting window, choose "Browse my computer for driver software".
d. I navigated to the "C7..." file along the following path: <C:\ATI\Support\11-7_vista64_win7_64_dd\Packages\Drivers\Display\W76A_INF>
e. At this point, I was shown a window that showed "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO" twice (that's all that was in the list). I selected the first instance and it moved on.
f. I got a warning that the driver was unsigned, obviously I allowed it to move forward with the installation.
g. The updating proceeded and the screen momentarily went black, twice. After the second time the description in the Device Manager changed to reflect that the GPU was now "ATI Radeon HD 2600 PRO".
FINAL NOTE: as of right now everything seems to be running properly and I have experienced no problems or graphical glitches. If anyone reading this sees an obvious problem with what I've done, please let me know. I have run benchmarks between this and the standard installed mobility driver and I get about a 10% increase in overall FPS (using the free "NovaBench" app by NovaWave).
< Edited By Host >

look what this guy said:
Hi Guys,
I've spent a few hours over the last week trying to find something that works to update the driver. Using the Mobility Modder from Driverheaven I managed to install the Catalyst 7.8 but not the actual driver - you need to modify the INF for this. The only problem is that I can't be sure what the differences are between the mobility 2600 and the standard-computer 2600. I would like to assume it's just a few settings such as power saving and interal/ external displays.
I tried to modify the INF and used the settings for the standard graphics card. It worked fine, but I put the original Apple driver back on because I didn't want to find out I was overclocking the Graphics CPU accidentally.
After using mobility modder I added this line just after the mobility 2300 graphics card entry:
"ATI MOBILITY RADEON X2600 XT " = ati2mtag_RV630, PCI\VEN1002&DEV9583
If you notice and compare the mobility and standard entries, the mobilities have the same ati2mtag but followed by M-something rather than RV-something.
This appears to direct the INF to the correct setup of the Catalyst software for that card - as I say, I used the settings for the standard 2600 card and it installed ok. I didn't try any games though.
On another note, I'm resisting doing anything further or testing any games until I have the screen issue resolved - after exchanging the naff 20" screen with it's horizontal shading (a dark shade at the top to a light shade at the bottom - very noticeable with darkish solid colours!) I've found my new (more costly!) 24" is having some problems with picture breakup, though so far only in Vista which I installed via Bootcamp.
I wish Apple would get there act together. It's my first Apple and I was expecting great things! So far, I would have had less hassle if I had built my own computer with Vista on and thats saying something!!
Matt
he added the RV630 string. but i tried that with my exact windows xp driver device ids and yes it still completed the installation successfully,but the fps sill stayed the same

FF 15.0 on Windows 7 (64 bit) PC opens in Safe Mode but will NOT open after letting FF do reset procedure; now "stuck" in loop.

1) FF 15.0.0.4619 on Windows PC 64 bit machine. No themes; about a dozen fairly standard plug-ins; a few extensions - fairly vanilla setup. Been having occassional problem this past week in viewing web PDFs.
Crash occurred after some program (adobe ??) wanted to do routine update.
2) Upon clicking FF icon pop up indicates "problem and unexpected crash" but clicking details button does NOT provide any info. Clicking on Restart FF button offers me option to Start in Safe Mode or Quit FF.
3) Starts in Safe Mode and first time I did that FF reported Java as being disabled and NOT upto date. Did Java update/install (Java Platform SE 7 U7 10.7.2). FF still will not start except in Safe Mode.
4) Re-booted computer ... Clicking FF icon brings up pop up with problem and crash sentence but no details. Following screen offers Reset to Default option, and upon clicking Reset it takes me back to the same pop up - so I am stuck in a loop that seems to accomplish nothing. Using Reset upon entering Sage Mode results in same loop.
I really hate using IE so appreciate any assistance in getting back to beloved FF.

Can't install catalyst on windows 7 64 bit

Hi, I'm a newbie to adobe and just got production suite which has catalyst, I had to upgrade from xp to windows 7 64 bit which was A clean Install so lost everything. I have issues with catalyst not installing at all with it saying there are errors, I see from other posts people talking about java, would this effect the install as I don't have it. Or does it sound like a software issue. I have the CDs.

Are there any special charaters in your user name? I know that has caused issues in the past. You might need to contact Adobe support for this one.

New installation of iTunes on Windows 7 64 bit hangs

I just installed iTunes 9.0.3 (64 bit version) on my Windows 7 (64 bit version as well) PC (Core i7). The installation seemed to work fine.
But from the first start of iTunes, it has very slow response times and I can't do anything like browsing music or synchronizing with my iPhone. If I click on the menu bar, it takes 30 seconds until it pops up. To exit from iTunes, I have to kill it with the task manager.
The installer wants to put iTunes to C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes. I expected - as this is a 64 bit version - C:\Program Files\iTunes being the appropriate location.
Any ideas?

Firewall: none
Not even the built-in Windows Firewall, Tofswi?
Oh yes, you are right. As it silently works in the background (what I like), I completely forgot about this one. It is activated with default settings. I did not touch it since installing of Windows 7.
I took one more try and reinstalled iTunes. And it works - regardless of whether the firewall is activated or not. So where's the problem then: It's my iPhone (3G). When I plug it in, iTunes immediately slows down. Then I remove the iPhone and iTunes comes back to normal operation. In my case, the firewall does not have any influence on that.
As I can see in other threads like http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11204685&#11204685 I'm not alone in this matter.
- I checked the iPhone USB driver: It's up to date and I can access the iPhone by the Windows explorer)
- I tried to give iTunes time "to get accustomed" to the iPhone: Sometimes iTunes crashes completely, sometimes there is an unknown error (different error numbers, e. g. -6999)
- Then I happened to be the lucky user being allowed to click on "synchronize": Unknown error again, but iTunes always seems to proceed a little bit - it's confusing.
- Then a deactivated synchronizing of all (applications, music etc.) but the contacts and clicked on "synchronize" again: It's quite interesting that iTunes complains about not being able to download Wikipanion from the iPhone as I just told iTunes not to synchronize applications...
After all these steps the contacts of iPhone had been transferred to the PC, fine. And I could not start the applications on my iPhone anymore, not very fine. Every application I touched started up and closed again immediately. I remember: Reinstalling all the apps will help, great But wait, as I already know, this is a problem of the DRM. I only had to update one of the installed apps through the app store directly on the iPhone. Then it worked again. Installing a new app should help as well.
I like the easy handling of the iPhone. But iTunes with iPhone on Windows 7 is an impertinence. It's really not the quality I expect from Apple.
b noir, thanks a lot for helping.
I for myself am going to take a cup of tea now. And perhaps I will sink into contemplation about the time I spent in the old days to transfer some addresses from one to another datebook by pencil compared with the time I spend today to debug modern software.

RMBP, Windows 7 64 bit, thunderbolt external drive

I finally figured out how to install and run Win 7 off of my thunderbolt drive (seagate).
the rMBP requires a FAT partition to be created on the interal SSD. If you use bootcamp utility it creates a huge 20GB partition. I was able to create a small FAT partition on the internal SSD and then proceed to install and run win 7 off of the external thunderbolt drive.
PROCEDURE:
1. run diskutil command:
Code:
diskutil list
you will need to know if your internal SSD is disk0 or disk1 (in this guide it was disk0
2. Create the small partition:
***my ssd is a 512 GB drive, you can break down the partition here ***
Code:
diskutil resizevolume /dev/disk0s2 494G MS-DOS FAT 5G
3. Within Mac, create a single msdos partition on the external thunderbolt drive. (GUID or MBR)
4. for the rMBP, use the Bootcamp assistant utility to create your USB windows 7 installer from an iso and also with the bootcamp drivers.
5. Reboot and press the option key at the chime.
6. Choose the windows installer
7. at the drive screen of the installer you will see your 2 drives. drive0 maybe the external. Format the external drive ntfs and then install to the drive.
8. On reboot and eventually install bootcamp drivers.
Trial and error:
I tried install without internal partition and received 0x8030024 error which in some of apple forums can be overcome by removing the main drive. I did this but installer would freeze.
Good luck. If you need any help let me know.

I have a related question. I have a 2012 top-of-the-line iMac with Thunderbolt, and I already have the internal SSD partitioned into both Mac and Bootcamp running Windows 7 64 bit. The internal hard drive is also partitioned into both mac and PC hard drives I just added a 4 TB external Thunderbolt drive (Seagate Backup Plus using the external Seagate Thunderbolt adapter/dock), and I do NOT want to install Windows bootcamp on the external drive - I just want to partition it so that the Mac has access to 2 TB and Bootcamp has access to the other 2 TB. Using Mac Disk Utility, I can easily partition it, although I can't format the PC side into NTSF. However, when I startup using Windows, it doesn't seem to recognize either of the external hard drive partitions that the Mac side already recognizes. The Mac side even assigned little icons (automatically) to both partitions showing the Seagate harddrive docked in its little Thunderbolt adapter/dock. The PC side didn't assign icons, and didn't recognize either partition UNTIL I WENT INTO PC DISK MANAGEMENT AND FORMATTED THE PC PARTITION AGAIN, as NTSB. Now the PC side recognizes the Windows Partitions, but still doesn't recognize the Mac partition - it says that partition hasn't been formatted yet. Oddly, the Mac side still recognizes both partitions even after I changed the PC version. So what's going on here? Does Windows require some sort of Thunderbolt driver in order to correctly recognize an external hard drive that Mac Disk Utility has formatted? I didn't have this problem on the internal hard drive that come in my iMac - it's recognized easily by both PC and Mac.
I am using only the Windows NTSF partition on the external hard drive at the moment. I transferred all my Steam games to it as an experiment (about 350 GB). The games are running just fine, but it seems that the frame rates and speeds are slower than they were on the original internal hard drive. I bought the external Thunderbolt drive because it was supposed to be faster.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Any help on this matter would be appreciated. Thanks!
