The disk cannot be partitioned because...

[siritalks]

... some files cannot be moved.

I'm getting this error when trying to install Windows 7 via Bootcamp into a partition of 40GB (from 220 free GB).

I've read through a lot of the potential ways to sort this, but I'm a bit of a computer noob truth being told and I don't understand half the things people are telling me.

What is the easiest way for me now to install Windows in Bootcamp? A step by step guide would be great. I'm pretty reluctant to wipe my current Hard Drive, even though I do already have a backup saved in Time Machine.

Any help would be great...

In the comments section of this (http://blogs.bytecode.com.au/glen/2...overcome-the-files-cannot-be-moved-issue.html) a guy called Jonah says...

"Booting off my OSX disk and then running repair on my drive saved me from having to reinstall or run defrag. Try this first."

Anyone tried that, and does it work?
