majkoll Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 hello! trying to help a friend install windows on her mac, some programs she got doesn't work with OS. when im trying to make a partition i got this 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 again." this is probablly an easy problem for you guys but for a pc-user this is not... : ) best regards majkoll Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/62389-cannot-make-partition/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

skyhighmac Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Get them from a torrent site. If you didn't get good discs, and I don't think there are any Apple stores in Chile, just get it from a torrent site. Just keep the bad discs just in case Apple comes knocking at your door.

-Bj Posted October 19, 2007 Share Posted October 19, 2007 hey.. kinda late post, but there is a fix to this problem. Just give your Tiger partition MORE room. This would fix the "cannot make partition" problem.
