[QUOTE="chrischap, post: 1076417, member: 163851"] Hey guys, i've had a Macbook Pro for about a 10/11 months now so i know my way around OS X. However the problem i'm having is working out how bootcamp assistant works. I've attempted to partition my hard drive with about 36GB for Windows Vista basic. But when it says the drive is partitioning i get this error message [B]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.[/B] Forgive my ignorance but is this a necessary step? I've used Time machine to back up my files onto an external hard drive already. Is there a video guide or any guide on how to resolve this issue, it's really making me angry because Apple makes this seem like such an easy process. [/QUOTE]
