I've got a new MacBook Pro and I have the hard drive partitioned into three sections - Mac HD, Windows, and my personal data. So obviously the "Windows" partition is reserved for installing and running Windows. I thought I had created this particular partition with Boot Camp, but maybe not, I forget.

I thought this because I vaguely remember setting it up in Boot Camp, but deciding to do the actual Windows install later. Well later came today and when I fired up Boot Camp it gives me the error "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition."

So my question is...what do I need to do to keep the hard drive in these three partitions and install Windows to one of them? I really don't want to start over/reinstall OSX, etc. Do I have to install Windows through Boot Camp?
