[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1524672, member: 46727"] That error is a bit cryptic. What it's telling you is that your hard drive is fragmented. Although there may be enough empty space to create a Boot Camp partition, all your empty space is not continuous. You have two choices to fix it: 1. Make a Time Machine backup (full). Erase the hard drive, reinstall OS X and then restore from Time Machine. The fragmentation will be removed. 2. Third party de-fragmenting tool or utility. I use iDefrag which is $30.95, download from [URL="http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php"]here[/URL]. The first method above works well and is free. Use that. [/QUOTE]
