I am totally blind and this is how I installed it without sighted help.
First thing I bought a firewire cable which I connected to my macbook
that had a ready bootcamp partition. The other machine I used was a
windows xp machine with 1394 connector, I used it just to quick format
the bootcamp partition in ntfs after having started the macbook with t
for target mode held down while powering up. Once done, I started lion
again and went to bootcamp, inserted a blank cd in its drive and
downloaded the drivers for that particular machine and bootcamp burnt
it to the cd for me.
Now time to install, I inserted windows7 home premium oem version and
powered with c held down so I boot from the cd, when it stopped turning
I pressed enter and waited a couple of minutes, enter again and waited
a little also until it stopped spinning, space bar to check license
agreement then enter, I hit letter c now then I hit the last enter then
it was unattended by itself, just bring usb headset or equivalent so
you use it on third restart to configure, all this without sighted help
praise the lord.

Thank you very much I found it. Doesn't look like it is update for Lion
yet. I assume the portion where Windows is installed on the bootcamp
partition requires sighted assistance.

Subject: Definitive guide to installing another OS on a new Mac
Hello all, I have seen bits and pieces of this here several times but is
there a good complete step by step guide to setting up a second
operating system under boot camp, for example say something like Windows
7? Hopefully something that explains setting up the disk partition and
installing the proper drivers etc. Any help would greatly be
appreciated.
Frank
