Booting Windows 7 from an ExpressCard SSD
Greetings…
I am the owner of a 96GB FileMate SolidGO ExpressCard 34 Ultra SSD and I want to install windows 7 (64 bit) on it in order to boot and work entirely from this expresscard ssd.
The installation is successful, but when loading, it says that it cannot find winload.exe - it does not see the disk.
Laptop macbook pro. Mac Os successfully installs and boots from this SSD.
I would like to understand for a start, in theory, is it possible to load windows7 from an expresscard ssd disk at all?
If it is possible, then what needs to be done.

In fact, I suspect that the problem is the same as with booting Windows from USB, there is also a rake ... Without certain modifications, this does not work, because. At the time of loading, the Windows kernel initializes usb devices while blocking the USB from which it boots itself. But as you know, this is somehow bypassed by certain manipulations, the essence of which is not fully known to me. Maybe the same here...
