So basically, I'm trying to set up boot camp, but I get the common error "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."

So I figure I'll reformat (my data is already backed up via an external HDD and Time Machine). My only problem is I don't have any of the OSX disks besides a Snow Leopard upgrade DVD. Will I be able to boot from the DVD and reinstall the OS, or do I need another disk?

Any suggestions or hints would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan Hamilton
