ok here it goes
awhile ago I tried partitioning my hhd for duel boot with boot camp. deleted or thought I deleted partition because I never installed windows and didnt want to deal with it at the time.
now I want windows. try partitioning and get this:
"this disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved"
"Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."
If it helps I have wine running already but I need visual studio for a class and that wont run on wine.
should I back up and reset my computer or is there a different way?
if time machine just adds a partition to my external hhd then I will just do that, otherwise I have couple hundred gigs of photos on that I don't want to lose.
Thank you. shouldn't have bought a mac for a programming class
