do you have an ISO downloaded?
once you have that
install imgburn
open imgburn, in the wizard, choose 'burn/write image file to disc'
failing that, i can post you my windows 7 x64 7100 (rc) dvd if you want
no need to pay me, can just 'owe' me
it is pretty easy though, which stage are you at?

If you can't burn the ISO, don't run 7 before it's under general release. It'll save you a lot of stress.
actually, i agree with that..
it's really not that hard to download it and burn it using the instructions i gave..
google for "windows 7 rc download" use the microsoft link and go from there
what spec is your pc?
have you installed an os before?

It's an image of a disc, basically the entire disc in one continuous file. Don't worry about that though, just follow the simple steps above
Yes, it's that simple.
If at any point you run into any problems, stop what you're doing and post here as much info as you can. Somebody will help you, it should be a 2 min job to start burning the disk.
Once you know what you've done, you'll be laughing at the fact you had difficulty to begin with!

.iso is just the file extention, like .jpg etc..

I haven't used imgburn personally but look for a setting named Burn Speed or words to that effect. Lower it right down, I always burn at minimal speed to ensure against possible burn errors.
As for the hard drive, When you boot from the Windows disc you will choose your hard drive in the setup. Create a volume with it (assuming it says Unallocated Space) using the New option, and then Format it, once this is done, click next and off it goes.

When you are using your burning software it will give you an option about what speed to burn at.
You will be using a blank dvd, so 2x or 4x would be your best options.
If there hdd you are installing windows7 to is blank, just pop the disk in quickly when you turn it on, and follow the onscreen instructions. You'll find instructions very clear.
