What you need:

-Patience
Before you install:
All explained info here (alot)
To use Boot Camp Assistant:
When you create the Windows partition, you can choose to use 32 GB, use half of the disk for Windows, or set a custom size. The Windows partition must be at least 5 GB and leave at least 5 GB of free space on the Mac OS X partition.
(I recommend smaller than half)
