I have done this before with no issues but for some reason now it does not work .. what happens is i create a bootcamp partition then i start the windows installation

when it gets to the windows part where you need to pick the partition you want to install .. i select the boot camp partition and it does not allow me to install .. its says the partition must be ntfs .. ive never had this problem before ??

any ideas ?

im installing win 7 pro 64 bit
 
You need to format the partition to ntfs for windows vista and windows 7. This should be easy to do within the windows installation.
 
never had to do that before .. it would just do it on its own

just before when i formatted it myself .. there was no bootcamp icon or anything in windows which there
always is
