[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1029125, member: 46727"] The problem you're experiencing is there is not enough contiguous space to create the partition. Besides, your drive is running out of space. Even if the partition was somehow created and you were able to install Win 7 Ultimate, it would crawl. (Win 7 Ultimate 32X needs around 25 GB to install and the 64X version around 35 GB.) Buy a larger hard drive, clone the contents from your old drive to the new one, use Boot Camp and install Win 7. You'll get much better performance. Also, while you're at it, why not upgrade to Snow Leopard? That would also give you Boot Camp 3.0 and the ability to upgrade to Boot Camp 3.1 which is what you really should have to run Win 7. Regards. [/QUOTE]
