[QUOTE="goobimama, post: 534942, member: 17032"] I had a similar problem when I tried installing XP on a macbook with somewhere around 25GB of free space. The Bootcamp installer said that it couldn't partition the drive. Then I read somewhere about iDefrag and ran it through. I must say, apart from the system boost, the installer went through right away. Many will say HFS+ does not need defragmenting, but I beg to differ as I've seen improvements... noticeable ones at that. I also wouldn't recommend partitioning your disk using Disk Utility outside of Leopard... [/QUOTE]
