If you still need to create a bootable Windows 7 install disk using only your Mac and the Boot Camp Assistant, you can edit a preference file (Info.plist) for the Boot Camp Assistant in order to enable the "Create a Windows 7 install disk" option that you mentioned. What Apple did was disable this option unless you have a relatively recent Mac that shipped without an internal DVD drive, such as a MacBook Air, retina MacBook Pro, or one of the new iMacs or Mac minis. Basically, editing this Info.plist file will add the model of Mac you're using to the list of Macs that are given the option to create a bootable Windows install disk.<br><br>I could walk you through this process, but someone on YouTube has already done a great job creating a video walkthrough that should guide you through every step of creating the install disk: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1gqw0ougo">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8z1gqw0ougo</a>.
