Q: Create Windows install disk option in Lion Bootcamp?

am currently running Lion on my late 2010 Macbook Air. The new bootcamp has an option to create windows 7 installation disk from usb and iso. I have both but bootcamp won't let me select that option, any ideas?

If I go to FAQ on bootcamp support page, it says

Support for the Windows 7 ISO installer Install Windows with an installation disc you provide or, on Mac computers that do not have an optical drive, with a USB flash drive that contains a Windows 7 ISO image downloaded from Microsoft. The Boot Camp Assistant will offer to create this image on supported computers.

Is my MBA not supported by bootcamp assistant to create usb install disk>

MacBook Air, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

    Yeah i saw that but the problem is dragging. Right now on the mac I can click on something then use my second finger to drag. I can also use the double finger tap as a right click. However, windows only lets you do one or the other. If I'm dragging something and my second finger hits the pad it'll stop dragging and it will initiate a right click.

     

    It's not a big deal I'm just happy it's working. The gestures I didn't bother looking to much into. That I will work on.

    The OS X driver has much richer features than the Windows driver. I get by on the Windows side, without being a great fan of the available functions.

    According to this Boot Camp: System requirements for Microsoft Windows operating systems - Apple Support

     

    your mac is only compatible with bootcamp version 4. Im not sure what to do with that info but maybe the string entries are different in 4.

    Thank you man, it worked!

     

    I will describe my problem to future help someone.... maybe me again.

     

    I have a MacBook Air 1,1 in Lion 10.7.4. My BootCamp version is 4.0.3.

     

    I was trying to do the BootCamp in it, but in the BootCamp Assistant it don't even show the Check Box to Create an USB Bootable Disk (not even in gray).

    I edit the info.plist and input on DARequiredROMVersions my ROM  that is MBA11.00BB.B03 and in USBBootSupportedModeIS MacBookAir1,1. I was trying to codesign it in Terminal, but in the finish i saw it was not necessary for this version.

    But it didn't work at all, the finally i chan the MacBookAir1,1 to MBA11. Voilá!!! It worked! I hope it helps someone.
