[QUOTE="optyks, post: 1028989, member: 99526"] I have a copy of Windows 7 Ultimate that I want to dual boot on my unibody MBP. When I try to use boot camp to create a partition, it says "Files cannot be moved. Back up Disk utility to format it as a single mac os extended volume. Restore your information and try boot camp assistant again." I try to use Disk Utility to create a partition then. Main Harddrive reads 34 gigs free, so I create a 25 gig partition. it works for a few minutes then says "Partition failed.error, no space left on device." But.. i have 35 gigs free. I tried erasing free space as well as clearing PRAM on startup. I made more space and have somewhere around 50 gigs free now. I went through and am trying the same thing, only making a 34 gig partition from the 50 or so... now its just sitting in disk util saying "modifying partition map." Been saying that for 15 minutes or so now... help! Specs 2.26 core 2 duo 4 gigs 1067 DDR3 os x 10.5.8 [IMG]http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a115/Falkon114/Picture2-10.png[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
