I searched for days but i cant find a solution.

I installed Windows 7 via internal Superdrive to the stock HDD. I used the whole space on the HDD for Windows 7. Start, Reboot and so on works fine. Even when its sitting in the optibay. But, as soon as i put in my SSD in the main bay with ML the W7 wont start via Option Key. I just see a blinking cursor (it doesnt need just long to boot, it will never boot, waited for at least an hour). When i remove the SSD Windows 7 will start just fine!

RESOLVED: I searched for hours. Reinstalled, cloned and did lots of stuff but nothing worked. In the end i just switched the drives. SSD with ML in OPtibay (at 6GB speed, MBP mid 2012) and W7 HDD in Mainbay.

I had no Problems installing Windows 7 with a USB Stick (alone and via Bootcamp. The last thing only works after a little tinkering with the Bootcamp info.plist thingie)
