How do you install Windows 8 with Bootcamp but without a SuperDrive?

Question

I'm in an odd situation. I removed my superdrive in favour of a second hard drive and would now like to use bootcamp.

Does anyone have a process for installing Windows 8 with Bootcamp but without the DVD copy & reader?

(I already have the ISO)

Good question -- I had this issue before with the release preview and eventually gave up. — willmel, Oct 31, 2012 at 22:39

You should be able to install rEFIt and use it to boot the MacBook to a bootable flash drive with the windows 8 installer.

SLaks answer works. However, I also found a way to do without the flash drive:

It's slightly more complicated.
