[QUOTE="kaptaind, post: 1262535, member: 207022"] I downloaded an ISO file from Microsoft to my Mac. I used the Mac's disk burning utility (I'm pretty sure it's "Disk Utility") to create a DVD version of the ISO file. The resulting DVD had all of the same files on it that the ISO file contained: setup.exe, a boot folder, etc... This DVD did not work with Bootcamp Assistant. I burned another DVD of this same ISO file on another machine using a different disk burning utility. In this case, it was "Power2Go". That DVD contained the same files as the ISO file, and the first DVD I burned. This 2nd DVD did work with Bootcamp, i.e., it installed Windows 7 on my Mac. The only discernible difference between the 2 DVDs is the one that didn't work was in "Mac OS Extended" format, while that one that did work was in "UDF" format. [/QUOTE]
