at the time, i did some research and people were saying that to get past this freeze, one had to delete the partition created by Boot Camp Assistant (BCA) and create a new partition while in the Windows 7 installer. this disc, for some reason or another, would freeze upon the "completeling installation." stage of the install. i should mention that the first Windows 7 Pro disc i had, i downloaded from my school's MSDNAA website and burned the iso directly.

In the editor, type UUID=, then paste the UUID number you copied from the clipboard.Back up /etc/fstab if you have it it shouldn't be there in a default install.From the output, copy the Volume UUID value to the clipboard. In Terminal, type diskutil info /Volumes/volume_name, where volume_name is the name of the NTFS volume.
