Help me I am trying to install XP on my MBP with bootcamp and I want to partition 10gb and it loads for quite a while and then I get an error message saying "Verification failed. This Disk could not be partitioned. Use Disk Utility to repair this disk." What do I do?

Use disk utility to repair this disk ;)

Insert your Mac OS X disk and run disk utility in the installer area. Then click repair disk.
 
I searched in spotlight for Disk Utility and there it is and I repaired it but do I need to use my Mac OS X Disc?
 
You repaired permissions, not the disk. There is a difference.

You need to boot from the installer DVD to run Disk Utility to fix the disk.
