the drive must be a single partition drive and must not have been previously partitioned. Now it wants me to offload everything, partition as a single extended, journalized OSX drive, and restore my stuff back.

The iMac was purchased brand new 2 years ago and the drive has never been partitioned.

Any ideas? I don't want to risk what it's asking for.

I ordered VM Fusion last night. Will this get around that problem?

VMF will not have a problem with this.

Secondly, open the disk utility and select your internal disk. Then click on the partition tab and check if any other partition exists.

Reboot with the OS X disc in and run disk utility. Perform a disk scan, restart and try to install Bootcamp again.
