Does the disk say "upgrade" or is it a full version.

What kind of Mac do you have?
What version of OS X are you using?
Are you following Apple's instructions exactly ?

Log into an administator account then rerun bootcamp. Worked for me.

Is the error coming from Boot Camp, or from the Windows installer, or somewhere else?

If the error is coming from Boot Camp and you're still in OS X, just reboot your Mac, hold down the Option key and (assuming you have a bootable CD) you should be able to boot from it at that point.

You don't need Boot Camp to install Windows after you have partitioned the drive and installed the firmware update (if necessary).
