I am working my way through this procedure using Boot Camp Assistant. I'm in
Step 1 where I create a partition for Windows XP and have got a message that
"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved. Back up the
disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant
again."
I have never partitioned my MacBook Pro.
My disk is backed up by Time Machine/Time Capsule so I have launched "Disk
Utility". I'm uncertain how to use Disk Utility. Do I erase first, then
partition, or does partitioning simultaneously erase?
If anyone has gone through this experience, I'd appreciate any hints/advice on
what to watch for.
Bob
