What do you mean with win7 disk? An already installed win7 on a HD or the win7 Install disk/dvd?
a win 7 dvd disk. 32bits.

in my pc i have 1 hard drive, 250 gig, 3 partiotions, 1 for mac, 1 for document and stuff, and 1 for windows,
the 2 last partiotions are empty.

You have to boot with iBoot 1st, then swap the cd's/dvd's and hit F5 after a while
didnt worked =\, the iboot dont recognize windows and not ubuntu.

this is exactly what iv'e done.
after i removed the iboot cd and inserted an windows 7 dvd i waited
enough time (first time i have waited for 1-2 min, and in the 2nd time i have inserted the cd and left the computer to red it for 10-15 min.)
and still, i have pressed f5 and no changes, but when i putted back the iboot cd and pressed f5 the iboot boot menu recognized it.
(same thing with ubuntu).
=\

1st Then i think your DVD's are not burned correctly, if you use an original Genuine win7 DVD it might work, if you mean you've burned them correctly then

2nd Insert the win7 dvd and try to boot directly from it w/o using iBoot. For installing win you don't need iBoot

shame on me :banghead:

Try going into your BIOS and changing your boot priority to boot from CD/DVD first.

You could even change it to boot from CD/DVD only. You can always change it back again later (e.g. after Windows Installer reboots for the first time).
