Just run bootcamp assistant, decide how much of your HDD you want windows to have, then next step is whack in the windows 7 DVD! Job done.

After windows is installed - run the bootcamp windows application (found on the MacOS install DVD) which will install all your drivers.

:D
I'm running it on Parallels, and didn't bother installing parallels tools yet which are supposed to fix some of the issues. Windows 7 is still experimental for apple hardware installations. I'm sure bootcamp would work much better than parallels obviously, but I have no reason to run bootcamp. I have XP, 2 Vistas, and 7 all installed on Parallels for testing purposes. No other reason to ever need or use a windows installation.
