How to install windows (bootcamp) if I dont have my optical drive?

Thanks, yes I know that, but when I'm going to install, the installation program runs and start to load the system files, I get an error and the machine restarts.

I get this error only when Im trying to install windows via USB optical drives (optical units powered by USB and also AC-DC). When I try the installation from the internal superdrive, I dont get any error.

I hate to ask the obvious, but why don't you just use the internal drive that doesn't give you any errors? Otherwise use a firewire external drive.

I've already set my Boot Camp, and I used the internal SuperDrive, but... wouldn't one of those external drives with "USB boot functionality" work? I tell that because my CoreDuo, when I boot with my external BD attached, seeks it at boot.

In response to Mayer, I am replacing my superdrive drive for a SSD, I do to improve the speed of my Mac, which currently do not have enough money to buy a new MacBook. therefore could not use my internal optical drive.

Stefano, I have tried several external optical drives (Samsung, LG, HP, even a modified macbook air superdrive) and all I have the same problem.

And is not the installation CD of windows.

Any solution?

Aside from following this hint with a reputable external driver certfied for USB booting, I'm drawing a blank:
