I can not get Wheezy to work on Pi

I downloaded Wheezy and I used the Win32diskmanger and I see the file with a IMG extenstion on my SD card, but the Raspberry Pi just sits there and the green led does Not blink. Help, Thanks Jimmy

Jimmy,

As above, if you can see the img file on your SD card, that is the reason for problems. See this guide on the Rpi site

To precis, download the image, stick the SD card in your pc, open Windisk imager, browse to the image file, select the correct disk to write to (Not your C drive) write the image out, put the card in the pi, things should start happening.

Is there really nothing better than this win32diskimager available for windows ? The number of posts that are appearing where it seems to be the common denominator for a non-working Pi has me wondering if it isn't the biggest problem here.
