I'm trying to use the Boot Camp assitant to install windows XP Pro on my MBP. but every time the assistant asks me how large I want the windows partition, this is what happens:
I can't adjust the partition slider. Anyone have any suggestions?
This is an odd one. I would run some of the Disk Utility tool such as Repair Disk Permissions. If that doesn't work I'd wipe and reload OS X from scratch

I have the exact same problem, and I tried a few things to no avail:
1. repair permissions/verify disk/erase free space in disk utility
2. creating a new 2nd partition in disk utility and couldn't do that.
After some poking around on the web, there is a concensus that the issue is disk fragmentation. I am contemplating two things:
1. reinstalling OS X and then restoring for a Time Machine back-up; or,
2. buying "iDefrag" and running it.
Thoughts on the those two option would be appreciated. I know there are two very distinct schools of thought on defragging a OS X volume - but being unable to create an 8 gig partition on a disk with 40 gigs of free space is odd.

Anybody?
Does nobody have any ideas?
