[QUOTE="claypax07, post: 1032372, member: 150373"] [b]Here is how you fix the partition problem[/b] I was having the exact same problem with my macbook. I looked around for possible solutions and this is the solution that works: The reason your computer won't let you create a partition is because of unusually large files that are fragmented, and thus they can't be moved to create a partition. The way to fix this is to buy a program to defragment these files (e.g. iDefrag). Buy this program and create a bootable disk with iDefrag on it using the cdmaker tool that comes along with your purchase. Boot you computer using this as your boot disk. Use iDefrag set at the "full defragmentation" setting to defrag your hard drive. This takes several hours so be sure to make it an overnight project. I did this then restarted my computer and the partition in boot camp assistant worked perfectly. Hope this works out for you. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
