win7 64bit installation problem

the drive is set as "system drive" not "logical"
platform is definately capable of 64bit
I downloaded .iso from Microsoft Website and used Microsoft suggested free software to create DVD
problem now is: ""unable to create new system partition or locate existing system partition"
any idea?
