Is Windows 7 64-bit Compatible with This iMac late 2013 ?

Question

Is Windows 7 64-bit compatible with this computer?
Hardware and software:
• Late 2013 iMac 27", 3.5 GHz I7, 32 GB memory, 1 TB hard drive Flash
* 4GB Graphic Card
• Mac OS 10.9.1
• USB thumb drive 2.0 16GB
• Boot Camp Assistant 5.1.0
• Windows 7 64-bit install disk iso image
Install steps:
1. Use Boot Camp Assistant to install Windows 7 install (from iso image) and Apple Support Software (creates WININSTALL USB drive)
2. Use Boot Camp Assistant to create Equal partition (500GB) on iMac internal drive and start Windows install
3. Complete initial install steps until given option to select install partition
4. Select 500 GB partition. Error message that partition is not formatted correctly. Use Advance Options to format (presumably to NTFS)
5. Select 500 GB partition again and click "Next"
6. Get error message "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup log files for more information."
7. Install quits at this point
I'm wondering if Windows 7 and/or Boot Camp is compatible with this iMac. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Many thanks.

Hi, Indeed. I am selecting the Bootcamp partition, and If I do Format, It informs me that all we be deleted, ok fair enough. then I can click the NEXT button, but I got then a msg stating :
Setup was u nable to create a new system partion or locate an existing system partition. See the Setup Log Files for more informations.
I have not more option here, I can delete, then create a new one with same size then format again, but same message at the end. this is my issue.
A guy done a Youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vD7dbSl9-b8
I am all ok up to 5min 50 on the video. Then My issue is what he has....
However, when he format the partition he does not have my error msg stating Setup was unable to create. etc...
This is my issue.
