Bootcamp Error

[cassidy]

I do not know if it is proper to start a new thread (mods, please merge it with the appropriate one). Anyway, I attempted to "dual boot" my MacBook Pro. I was able to install it and burn the Driver CD but whenever I partition, I get an error (see attached). I mean, I've tried starting up using the Installer CD, Verified and repaired the drives and then reverify it again to make sure that it is fine but I still get that error.

Anybody experiencing this? If it would help, I updated my firmware to version 1 from my default version (I don't know what). Napansin ko na bumagal ng ilang seconds yung startup ko. Yun kaya yung problem?

Anyway, thank you in advance for your feedbacks.

You said in your post that you repaired your drives - Bootcamp requires that your main mac HD has a single partition.

Since BootCamp is still on beta, there will be instances in some user accounts that the HD cannot be partitioned. If you search the Apple discussion forum about this specific error, most of the time the only solution is to backup all important files and do a reinstall of OSX.

Yes, I've actually repaired, verified and reverified through the Mac Install CD. The thing is, it does verify but when it comes to bootcamp, it keeps on showing the same error.

Yeah, its kinda weird. Ganun po ba? Thank you. I guess I'll just reformat this

I meant to say that bootcamp will only partition drives that have single partitions. When you use diskutility, how many logicial partitions are connected to the main mac drive? There should only be one.

You were right. You just have to reformat your whole system to make it work.

Glad to know that you you were able to partition your HD using BootCamp Remember to do a regular backup every now and then just to be safe.

this also happened to me. i'm quite afraid to reformat the whole system because i don't want the installed softwares be erased.
