I'm trying to put together a PC build and I have a Windows 7 license but no optical drive. I was hoping to be able to create a Windows 7 boot drive using my Macbook. Is this possible? I've been into Bootcamp and there's an option there to create a boot drive containing a Windows 7 .iso, but I don't know if that is somehow 'tailored' to work on Mac and not on PC. My only other option (that I can see) would be to install a trial of Windows 8 on my Mac using bootcamp and then to make a PC bootable boot drive containing Windows 7 in Windows 8. I could do that, but I'd rather not if it's avoidable.
I'm no expert but given that mac's use normal pc hardware, I would think it would work in a PC fine, although after the change you would need to change the drivers to the specific hardware the drive is going in to.
