Bootcamp Error helpYour Startup disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.
Back up your startup disk and use Disk Utility to format your startup disk at a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the startup disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again.
How do I go about doing this in Disk Utility? I opened up disk utility and could not figure it out.
Thanks!

As for backup, most people are using second drives now a days and tools like Superduper.

Ohhh...so when it says back up your startup disk, it means back up the harddrive and then reformat the whole thing and then restore???
THanks!
