[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1526769, member: 46727"] It sounds like your hard drive may be fragmented and there's not enough continuos space to do a Boot Camp partition. I can't be sure because the error you received is not the usual error that occurs when that happens. The usual cure for the above problem is to make a Time Machine backup, erase the drive, reinstall OS X, and then restore from Time Machine. That will get rid of the fragmentation and possibly allow Boot Camp to create the partition. Also, you need to download the support software for Windows 7 from Apple otherwise you will wind up with a Windows 7 installation that's dead in the water. In other words, no drivers. [/QUOTE]
