Problem with Bootcamp on Mac OSx Lion! Help. :(?

Hello!

I've been trying to install Windows 7 Ultimate to my MBP 13" 2011 for the past two days. I've been stuck at the same place. :s I tried using Parallels and even though it worked it was too laggy and I decided to do it via bootcamp.

I've already burned the Windows 7 ISO to a blank disc. I've also partitioned my disk to 50GB's. Once it's done partitioning my MBP restarts and instead of having the Windows 7 Installer, I get a black screen saying No bootable device found. I haven't tried it with a USB because I don't get the option in bootcamp. Anyways, I'm desperate. I need help. :s Can anyone please please help me.

This probably is a common question and issue, it's an easy 10 points. Thank you and merry christmas and a happy new year!

Update:

I tried what Adam said. Still does not work. And I'm sure the disk works. I used it to install it in Parallels like I said. I've also burned the disk with a lower speed. I first used 4x and got the problem so I decided to lower it to 2.4x. Problem persists. Help please. :(

    1. Make sure the disk you created is working properly. Try booting the Windows installer in Parallels to make sure it's working.

    2. Restart the computer. As the Mac makes the startup chime, hold down the option key (in between command and control). Then, several disks will appear - your main hard drive and the Windows disk you created. Select that windows disk and click the arrow underneath it. The Mac should then startup into the windows installer.
