For Macbook users all of the above steps can be accomplished with some modifications.
Here's a list of what I used...
Macbook Air (2010) 4gb of Ram, intel processor L9600 dual core 2.13 Ghz 2138 Mhz
Seagate HDD 1 TB
32 GB Sandisk USB
USB mouse/keyboard (you may need this until you get drivers installed)
1.) Download windows server ISO from your Macbook. Windows may detect your configurations, I haven't tested if it will work with other DL methods.
2.) click on search assistance, type in boot camp. Click action>Download Windows Support Software
3.) Save Windows Support Software to your desktop, transfer that folder to your USB
4.) transfer ISO to your USB
5.) log onto a windows machine and use rufus to follow the steps from above, format your external drive and use the ISO image you downloaded with your macbook
6.) (optional if step 7 doesn't work try this) open a terminal and type
> sudo bless -mount /Volumes/MyBootVolume -setBoot
> sudo nvram -d efi-boot-device
7.) restart your Macbook, hold down the options key
8.) select the efi boot disk, should be your external drive
9.) follow windows prompts, you will have to connect a USB keyboard and mouse(no drivers yet)
10.) once install is complete, transfer bootcamp files from USB to your desktop
11.) open WindowsSupport folder and double click setup
12.) some drivers may not install properly, my wireless for instance would not work
13.) go into WindowsSupport folder > drivers > Broadcom > dbl click Broadcom Network Adapter 7_64
Not everything worked on the first go, I had multiple restarts as my hardware is not supported. If you have a newer laptop your installation should go smoother.
Hope this helps
