If a dialog appears saying “The disk cannot be partitioned because verification failed,”
try repairing the disk using Disk Utility and running Boot Camp Assistant again.
If that doesn’t work, back up all the information on your computer, start up from your
Mac OS X Leopard installation disc, and erase the disk using Disk Utility. Restore the
information to your computer from the backup and try running Boot Camp Assistant
again.
If you made the Windows partition too small
First, back up all the information on your Windows partition. Then run Boot Camp
Assistant to restore your disk to a single volume. Restart your computer and use Boot
Camp Assistant to partition the disk again and reinstall Windows. Don’t forget to install
the Boot Camp drivers after installing Windows.
If you get a message saying “Installer Disc Not Found” when you try to install
Windows
Make sure you’re logged in to Mac OS X as an administrator.
If the Windows installer isn’t responding
If you’re using an Apple Mighty Mouse, the Windows installer may not respond if the
mouse is connected directly to your computer. Connect the Mighty Mouse to the USB
port on your keyboard.
If Windows didn’t install properly
Verify that you are using an original, full version of Windows XP Home Edition or
Professional with Service Pack 2 or later, or Windows Vista Home Basic, Home Premium,
Business, or Ultimate. Media Center, OEM, and upgrade versions of Windows XP are not
recommended.
Restart your computer and hold down the Option key until one or more disk icons
appear on your screen. Insert the Windows installation disc. Select the Windows
installation disc icon and then click the arrow beneath it. Quickly press any key on your
keyboard to start the installer. Follow the onscreen instructions to repair or reinstall
Windows.
If you installed MediaFour MacDrive and you can’t find the Boot Camp drivers on
the Mac OS X Leopard installation disc
In Windows Explorer, right-click the CD drive and choose MacDrive > Show Windows
Files.
