Well, here's the message I got from bootcamp:
"Backup 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 was trying to re-install windows for a second time, because I didn't put enough GB's on the Windows desktop before.) And this is a relatively common problem, I know, and I've tried to look for some advice... I just want someone to give me a solution that will protect my files and free of cost. (And if there's any type of easy solution, that would be awesome.) But so far, I've pretty much heard you have to re-install your mac. Is there another way to do this? Because I would rather not have to re-install my computer again. I mean, I can restart my computer, and windows starts to install itself, but I don't think it will use the right amount of space. So... Any help would be greatly appreciated.
