I have downloaded the iso images and have been trying to create a bootable cd using roxio on my dell laptop but so far have been failing to create a bootable cd.
That did the trick....now if I only would not have screwed up and forgot to configure a boot sector it would have worked.....as it stands, right now it just loads to grub.....oh well live and learn.
I tried the same thing (with Nero) but the ISO will not install. At the moment I have FreeBSD 4.9 installed. Is there a way I can somehow jump to 7.0 from here (maybe via FTP)?

I don't think so and don't recommend it. You will learn a lot about what you had running on your 4.9 system if your not meticulous. IMHO- Wait for 7.1-RELEASE. During this time try to document what's running on your system now. Backup your system so that you can restore it from bare metal. Bare metal means you have a working PC that does not boot.
Or you could cheat, something I have done. Buy a new disc drive and install you new system. If you get into trouble mount your other drive read-only and use it as a hot backup (in addition to your real backup). -IMHO
