I tried to use Bootcamp to install Windows XP Professional. When trying to partition through bootcamp i got this error:

"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 info to the disk and try using bootcamp assistant again."


I tried to create a journaled partition after using the disk utility to fix any problems which it found none. The problem was that the partitioning never stopped it went on for hours till i finally canceled it.

Whats wrong here?

I also have a problem with VMware Fusion which you can find here:

Your hard drive's fragged. Use iDefrag to compact everything
 
I had this problem with my MacBook.
I didn't get it sorted out. My PC died so I replaced it with an iMac.
Boot camp works on it.

Perhaps try something to do with the boot part type EFI .... something
I know confusing but ...
 
During the bootcamp partition its getting stuck on:

"Modifying Partition Map."
