Can anybody please tell me how to get this into a DVD. The Windows 7 I downloaded it 64 bit so that once I make a DVD I can install it on my Macbook Pro. My desktop PC is 32 bit. I have Nero so the burning part won't be a problem. I just need to know how to make a DVD out of what I downloaded or make an ISO so that I can burn it. Helppppp! I'm going crazy!

Or, download Burn OS X http://burn-osx.sourceforge.net is you want a slightly less spartan UI.

You could also use the terminal as well ;) (ripped from slashdot.com) I use this often enough as I create the ISOs from the terminal anyways.

1. Insert CD/DVD source

2. Fire up a Terminal, you can then determine the device that is you CD/DVD drive using the following command:

$ drutil status
Vendor Product Rev
MATSHITA DVD-R UJ-835E GAND

Type: DVD-ROM Name: /dev/disk1
Cur Write: 8x DVD Sessions: 1
Max Write: 8x DVD Tracks: 1
Overwritable: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB
Space Free: 00:00:00 blocks: 0 / 0.00MB / 0.00MiB
Space Used: 364:08:27 blocks: 1638627 / 3.36GB / 3.13GiB
Writability:
Book Type: DVD-ROM
3. Umount the disk with the following command:

$ diskutil unmountDisk /dev/disk1
Disk /dev/disk1 unmounted
4. Create the ISO file with the dd utility (may take some time):

$ dd if=/dev/disk1 of=file.iso bs=2048
5. Test the ISO image by mounting the new file (or open with Finder):

$ hdid file.iso
6. The ISO image can then be burnt to a blank CD/DVD.
 
I didn't try any of these actually. Thanks but I solved it before getting any responses. Downloaded an ISO burner and simply burned the ISO which I didn't know was there to a DVD. Thanks anyways.
