Boot Camp wont write data to DVD to allow win 7 install

[Newmac50]

Hello, total Mac newbie here!

I am trying to install win 7 via Boot Camp on iMac 9,1.
Boot Camp says it will download necessary drivers, goes through download, and then asks whether I want to burn data to DVD or save on external device.
I choose DVD, insert DVD, a dropdown menu appears asking at what speed etc and then I click BURN... and nothing happens.
Super Drive works fine; it plays movies, burns DVDs etc.
Any ideas will be appreciated!
Thanks.

From my experience when dual booting Windows with boot camp, you simply select a partition size, insert the Windows boot disc and then restart. Once the installation procedure has completed, then you install the required drivers for graphics, input, etc from the OS X Applications disc that ships with the mac.

At least this is how my experience has been in regards to drivers with a Macbook Pro 5,5. I'd advise to try an installation anyway and then try inserting the OS X applications disc. Deleting the Windows partition is quick and easy if it doesn't work out so no harm in trying.

Hope this helps.

Several folks have mentioned that there is a "I already have the drivers on disc" button in this dialog that can get you past the dialog box you are stuck on.
