Run the bootcamp assistant again and you'll come to a page where it prompts you to download a driver bundle that you need to copy onto a DVD/CD or USB drive. This will entice more people to respond and enable people to give you more specific help. In addition, when asking for help can I suggest that you type in full sentences, avoid 'text speak' and include the model of Mac you have and the version of OSX you are using.

I don't mean to sound 'funny' but this information is there precisely to help those who aren't "very good with computer stuff" or those unfamiliar with the process. I can confirm that if you use Boot Camp to install Windows 7 32-bit (no key needed) on a Core Duo Mac Mini.

To change the amount of space to dedicate to Windows 7, click the small divider between Mac OS X and Windows, and drag it to the left. The older Core Duo Mac series cannot boot into 64-bit operating systems, and is excluded from modern versions of OS X, but Microsoft still supports 32-bit processors, giving many old Macs the opportunity to be re-purposed with a modern OS. Set the partition size for the Windows installation. Click Continue on the initial introduction window.

The bootcamp assistant tells you exactly what it's going to do and what you need to do. Open Finder and navigate to Applications-> Utilities and double-click Boot Camp Assistant. To all of the new posters on this thread having bootcamp issues, welcome to the forums.
