Urg, I just had a partition there – and so there was plenty of free space. When I got to the part where it was going to re-create the Windows partition, using Boot Camp Assistant and after it took a long time with no explanation of what it was doing I got the following dreaded message:īootcamp Partition Error: “Files cannot be moved”
This just does not work (per lots of forum posts) so I properly indicated that I had all of the drivers. My first problem is that I followed directions and selected:ĭownload Windows support software for this Mac
Then I wanted to re-create the Windows Partition in Boot Camp Assistant. So first I deleted the Windows Partition in Boot Camp Assistant, worked perfectly. That seemed like the most upright thing to do.
#Idefrag for ma install#
My first instinct wanted to simply insert the Windows 7 disk and reboot and install a fresh install on the existing partition – some day when I am bored, I might try that and see what goes wrong – but this time I figured I would delete and recreate the partition through Boot Camp Assistant on the MacOS side. Live and Learn Moment: I should also have rebooted off my Snow Leopard drive, run disk utility and repair/verify my iMac boot partition before starting. But of course you know that once you open things up, things can go wrong and it always takes longer than you expect.įirst of course, back up the user data from Windows Vista and get TimeMachine up-to-date in case it all fails.
The Windows Vista was just too unreliable and I heard a lot of good things about Windows 7. The time had finally come for me to switch my BootCamp partition on my iMac to Windows 7.
