Boot camp failing, need a solution!!

[kecheverria11]

Hey, I'm using the Boot camp assistant to partition my mac and install Windows.
I have a burnt cd with Windows 7 Ultimate 32 and 64bit (I'm a student! can't afford the real Windows, for now )
When I'm choosing how to divide it, there's an Alert message that says:

Boot Camp only supports 64-bit Windows installation on this platform. Please use an USB drive or DVD which contains 64-bit Windows.

And this cd has Windows 7 64bit. Anything I can do?

Download just the Windows 7 x64 ISO from Microsoft and install that with a USB thumb drive? It's free to download.

Not an excuse. A Windows 7 Home Premium license can be purchased for $80-90. If you're at a university, you can almost certainly get one for much cheaper, or even free.

Go without coffee and/or fast food for a month, and you'll have what you need.

You can download a free version of Windows Server 2008 R2, which is a server version of Win 7 from Microsoft DreamSpark after registering with your school ".edu" email account. Then visit this site to learn how to convert the Win Server 2008 R2 to a Workstation. If you prefer the Windows 8 UI, then download the Windows 2012 R2 which is the server version of Windows 8.1. The conversion can take some time, but it's free and legitimate.
