Boot Camp Problems

I have a new imac running Leapord OS X... I have run boot camp and set up windows, but when I am in windows and select boot camp setup, it tells me I need Win SP2... I downloaded it from the site and when I attempt to install, it tells me that my partitioned drive hasn't got enough space when it has 50 gig!?!
This might sound bizzare, but I have a feeling that because it has so much space the installer just can't read it?! The installer requires 8 meg

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Thanks

Install instructions say to install XP w/ SP2 already apart of it. You can't install windows and then do the SP2 install later.
