Disk cannot be partitioned?

[None Such]

"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 information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

Anyone have this happen? What did you do to get it to partition?

I'd try backing up the disk and using disk utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Then I'd restore your information on the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again. 😉

Gee thanks. 🙄 I'm wondering what to do after that to get it not to give me the error message.

Try clearing temp files, I use MainMenu to do so. Once I cleared those temp files mine partitioned just fine. Since temp files are essentially in use they will cause the problem you are having like it did for me as well.

Besides main menu is a good program to have anyway🙂

I tried mainmenu and used it to clean my user and system cache, but boot camp still won't work. Which part of mainmenu did you use?
