[QUOTE="cosmicmandala, post: 1036197, member: 151143"] Thank you for the replies. Here is the exact error message I am receiving from Boot Camp: The 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. When I look in Disk Utility, it shows the format of my drive as being "Mac Os Extended (Journaled)". So I don't know why it is saying that my drive is something else. Regarding WP 5.1, it does work on Windows XP, and I recall trying to use DOSbox in the past to get it to work on OS X, and it didn't work. But I am going to try again right now, and see what happens. I am not sure if this is a clean install of Snow Leopard, I think it may have just been an upgrade, but the previous user wiped everything out. When I turned the computer on, I had to register/create an account, etc., go through the whole deal as if it was a new computer. [/QUOTE]
