Boot Camp? Parallels? VMWare?

Also, did you burn it correctly? Did you drag the ISO to Disk Utility and burn from there?

But did you do it in Disk Utility? It doesn't work if you just drag it to the disk.

The next step would be to boot into Windows (if you're using it already) and upgrade from the disk. Either that or delete your Boot Camp partition, make a new one, and install clean.

What if I wasn't running windows before that?

Do i need windows vista to be running windows 7?

Nope. You can do it from an empty partition.

I've tried installing Windows 7 from the beta disc on my Macbook using Bootcamp but once I've selected the keyboard language, I get and OSImage error, however when I tried installing it on my work Dell laptop, it installed fine. Any ideas?
