A good way to check is to open Macintosh HD (Macintosh SSD for me) and if there's a directory called efi then you're set. Note the message at the end, it should say something on the lines of Successfully installed. It will ask you for a password, that is the same password you would us to log in.
#Winclone error 72 install
To install rEFInd open terminal and drag the install.sh into the terminal window. Because I have 2 hard drives and ultimately have 3 partitions I made sure I had it on the SSD and not in my home directory before I installed it.
#Winclone error 72 for mac os x
REFInd is a bootloader for mac, linux and windows, it's based off the code for rEFIt, which is no longer supported and doesn't have support for Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion. USB key / external DVD Drive / ISO of Windows.

Installing Windows 7 on a Macbook Pro 2011 with no DVD drive If you don't see the section highlighted in blue you need to redo the above section. Now in the list on the left, right click (control click) the name as shown below and choose advanced options. Make sure the name and password are the same as the original system you had and you choose administrator from the New Account drop down menu at the top. Once installation is finished, do all your updates and make sure the system is running as is supposed to, when that is finished go to System preferences and Create a new user, give the user the same name as your personal account from the HDD. Now, install your OS on the SSD and make the primary account a generic admin account, not your personal account. Mark down the usernames and passwords of all the accounts that you'd like to leave on your HDD. Before you start installing a system on the SSD, boot up your OS on your HDD and create a "bootadmin" account with admin privileges on your HDD, this way you have two admin accounts in your OS. Keeping your home directory on a second drive I figured my personal files like work and music plus windows partition would be on the HDD while everything else on the SSD. Once the SSD and caddy were installed I then installed a fresh copy of 10.8 onto the SSD but kept my home directory on the HDD. My DVD drive stopped working and I thought the best thing to do was to purchase a hard drive caddy and get myself on the SSD bandwagon. This was my primary drive for the longest while, I had my system, apps, games and all my personal files on here. The first was a 1TB HDD 5400 or 7200 rpm drive. I have a Macbook Pro 2011 (model number MBP 8,1) with 2 hard drives. It also explains why trying to install from a external dvd drive would sit at a black screen with a flashing cursor without actually booting. These two discoveries are important because it allowed me to understand why my Macbook Pro would either tell me that my USB key with a windows installer on it was not a bootable drive.
I've read nearly every single thing there is to read on the internet about being able to install Windows 7 without an internal DVD drive on a Macbook Pro 15" running 10.8 Mountain Lion. After two days of partitioning, formatting, editing, repartitioning, reformatting, installing and reformatting again, I've finally been able to install Windows 7 on my macbook pro.
