The disk must not be partitioned before running Bootcamp and the first partition must be a Mac OS partition. Boot camp will then resize and create a 2nd partition to be used for Windows and then ask for the Windows CD/DVD.

You can not resize the partitions without first restoring to a single Mac OS X partition and then re-partitioning to 2 partitions and reinstalling windows.
