Just burn the ISO image with a cd-burner, for example using Nero Burning Rom

If you've booting from cd enabled in your bios you need only to put

Are you planning to keep windows or to delete your windows installation? 
In the first case you need to resize the ntfs (or fat32) partition, 
using a tool (under windows partition magic works fine, although i had 
some problems with the 7.0 version) but in any case backup your data first.
