Boot Camp not working

[AstonM]

Hey,

So I'm trying to install Windows XP on my computer. When I open the Boot camp assistant, and click continue, i get this message "The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition.

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 have never partitioned the drive, but this isnt the original HDD from my macbook, it was one of the WD 250gb HDD from Costco that I put into it. I am in HFS+ journalled as well. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

You have create 2 partitions. One for your Mac and one for Windows.

Yes, but, correct me if I'm wrong, boot camp assistant is supposed to be used to create the partitions. The message appears after I open BCA and click continue.

Well it did back in the beta. Not sure now. 10.5's disk utility is supposed to be able to repartition without nuking your drive, I believe. You just need to burn the driver cd and reboot off the xp install disk.
