Ignore that last post, I have successfully mad a 32 GB partition and is shows up on my desktop, but whenever I try to clone it an error pops up and tells me to check the log. On top of that the partition that I just created disappears from both the desktop and the Finder.

What’s wrong here?

Guys, you can read/write NTFS disks in Snow Leopard by enabling write:

Just curious why the need for an external disk? I’m in the middle of the process now, but should it matter where the clone is if you have the space?

If you’re getting a same sized partition, go to preferences and disable the LAST setting. It should be UNCHECKED.

Hi Katz, I ran into the same problem before.

What I did I backup my entire HD using Time Machine and then erased the partition. Then I used Time Machine to restore my backup. After which, I was able to run boot camp again properly.

Hope this helps.

hey I did everything but when i go to re-partition my mac itr won’t let me saying that 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 am using Snow Leopard and have not saved the image to an external harddrive, just my documents.

please help…

Thx.
