Bootcamp is not reconizing the Windows 7 Instal CD (original)

Hello, My Mac Book Pro 15'' (late 2011) Running Mountain Lion Server is not reconizing my Windows 7 install CD. Im usin the current boot camp with Mountain Lion. It is saying that it cant find the install CD but it is mounted and running properly. I even tried placeing an ISO on a flash drive and using that to install. If someone can give me some direction on where i can go from here that would be helpfull.

~Thanks

I thnk there is an issue with Server and Boot Camp Assistant.

You don't "place" the ISO on USB, you have to write so that it is no longer a single file but a standard installer with all the files and directories.

And it is a DVD or 4.4GB Flash memory device.

create a Windows support software (drivers) CD or USB storage media

The Boot Camp Assistant can burn Boot Camp software (drivers) to a DVD or copy it to a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or hard drive. These are the only media you can use to install Boot Camp software.
