I am trying to install Windows 7 via bootcamp on my Macbook Pro.

I ran the bootcamp utility and I am at the point where I am being prompted to insert my Windows disc. I only have the ISO that I downloaded and I'd like to avoid having to run out and buy a pack of DVDs.

I did some googling and found this...
http://osxdaily.com/2008/04/22...nt-an-iso-in-mac-os-x/

But all this does it mount the ISO, but OSX (or at least bootcamp) doesn't view it as a CD/DVD.

Is what I want to do possible without a trip to the store? Or do I need to run out and a buy a pack of DVDs?

Since it needs to be rebooted to start the installation (boot from dvd), you need a disk.

That's good because I just got back from Best Buy and I'd have been annoyed if I got home and discovered I wasted a trip :)
