[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1193807, member: 46727"] The error message is telling you that your hard drive is fragmented and there is not enough free [B]contiguous[/B] space to create the partition. In other words there are files that the Boot Camp partitioning program can not move out of the way to make room. Here's what you need to do: Backup everything with Time Machine (to an external hard drive). Then erase and reformat your hard drive. Reinstall OS X and during the reinstall use your Time Machine backup to restore. Afterward run the Boot Camp assistant again. This time it should work. [/QUOTE]
