use this
http://www.imgburn.com/
its a free program for burning images works great really easy to use
if you have any cd/dvd writing software already installed that may also work.

imgburn is very good, or DeepBurner. Either should do the job just fine.

You can also boot the iso from daemon tools to install. Did it earlier without any problems.

If you downloaded a ISO file you need software to burn it to disk for it to be usable. Use one of the suggested programs and pick burn iso not data.

Burning OPS into a DVD plate
Burning the OPS into a DVD plate is quite simple. Follow the following steps to have it smoothly done.
1. A software called DVD burner is required. (I recommend nero burner)
2. A DVD rom is required by the system to perform this task.
When these facilities are available then you can do it smoothly.
Lauch the software, on the software choose make data DVD, a dialouge box appears to let you choose the file which you want to add to the DVD Plate (Note: an empty DVD Plate is required).
Take the simple steps on the software then you are done.

A dvd burner is not software, its hardware.
A dvd rom can't burn anything, its just a standard dvd drive.
If you choose make a data dvd all you are doing is copying the data from computer to dvd. You need to choose burn image to disk to actually burn the ISO to dvd/cd.
ImgBurn is a good little burning program. Like johnb35 said, you just burn a image of the ISO . Just install Img, start it up, pick Create image file from files/folder. Pick your ISO file and, Get her done

+1, I think in Nero 8, you'd have to choose the "Burn Image/Project" option... or something along those lines.

Ok well after I burn the image to a DVD, all I have to do is put it in the formatted DVD drive to install the OS onto the new computer right?

Yep. You may need to configure your BIOS to boot from the DVD. To do that, turn on you computer and watch for anything that says press a key to get to settings. It will probably be F2, F12, or DEL, but it varies. When you press the key, you will get to your BIOS configuration screen. Look for "boot order" or something like that. Then set the boot order to have the DVD drive be searched before the hard drive. Save the settings, reboot, and if all goes well you will be in the Windows 7 installer! You may not even need to do all that configuration, so just pop in the disc and reboot first. If it boot to Windows, take the steps I just mentioned to configure everything.
