same as any other install with bootcamp. just partition the space, insert disc and click the installer button. the computer will restart and begin setting up windows 7. just remember you need to format the bootcamp partition with the windows installer.

Just browse the Mac OS X DVD for the drivers, I believe you go into Apple>Drivers and run the exe file named, bootcamp64.

Its smooth sailing from there.

How many times are people going to ask this same question? Is doing a little research really that hard? Hell I wouldn't even call it research, there's a thread just a few threads down (http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=700081) already covering most of this.

As someone in that thread said:

The most difficult part was burning the disk.
