Bootcamp stuck on "Status: Partitioning Disk..."

[DJMartyn]

The title say it all, I've tried with my vista disc in the drive and out of the drive, given it a few goes for 10-20 minutes (recommended by people online) and then an hour just incase.

Any help would be brilliant

The Partitioning drive, thats still in leopard right? if that is hanging there have you tried running diskutility and verifying the permissions / hard disk? You could have file system errors causing it to stop.
