Once you get the Boot Camp drivers installed, you’ll be able to set up your Bluetooth hardware and you can put the USB hardware back on the shelf.The file format standard you use for your external drive will depend on how you plan on using the drive. The solution? Have a USB keyboard and mouse handy and use them to get through the initial installation. It works fine out of the box with the Mac, but it goes AWOL during the Windows setup process. You’ll need a USB keyboard and mouse to get started. The reason why you have to format the partition yourself is because Apple didn't license NTFS from Microsoft (that's why you can't write to NTFS in OS X), and Apple's OS requires that every volume has a file system, which is why they format it FAT32.
Update: In the TalkBack section, Joe Raby adds some context for this incompatibility: This awkward extra step is documented on page 8 of the setup guide, but you might miss it if you decided not to RTFM. During the early stages of Windows Setup, when you choose the partition on which to install the OS, you have to click Drive Options (Advanced) and format the partition as NTFS. But it doesn’t format the partition using NTFS, which is required for a Windows 7 installation. The Boot Camp Assistant creates a new partition and labels it as BOOTCAMP.
