[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1505883, member: 46727"] The message is somewhat deceiving. What it's really saying is that you don't have enough continuous free space to create a Boot Camp partition. In other words, your disk is fragmented. Contrary to belief, Mac hard disks do become fragmented for one reason or another. Several ways to resolve the problem. 1. Make a backup with Time Machine. Erase the drive, reformat, restore with Time Machine. Note: Cloning software does not work the same way and can not be used. 2. Purchase [URL="http://www.coriolis-systems.com/iDefrag.php"]iDefrag[/URL] and use it to remove the fragmentation. [/QUOTE]
