[QUOTE="SammySlim, post: 903213, member: 48298"] Sounds to me like what you should try first is to defragment your Mac hard drive, then try Boot Camp again. The "files can't be moved" error usually means a fragmented drive. Here is the Apple discussion of the problem - which says EITHER defrag your disk (easy) or go through the complex re-initialization process you describe (hard). [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1634]Defragmenting your Mac's hard disk[/url] Most folks on the forum have recommended iDefrag: [url=http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php]Coriolis Systems :: Products :: iDefrag[/url] It is not free, however, and there may be other solutions. Also, I am not certain whether it works with Snow Leopard, so if you have upgraded to SL you should be careful. Anyway, take a long look at defragmenting and I would try that first. Cheers [/QUOTE]
