dj_stick Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 As the topic title/description says, I can't get bootcamp to create a single partition on an empty disk for windows to install to It's supposed to create a partition called "BOOTCAMP" which you then install windows to, however this is not created. It works when creating a second partition on the primary disk, but I don't really want to do that, any suggestions?

Falcon351 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Since it's an empty disk, how about just setting it up and partitioning with Disk Utility? Make sure you set it up as MBR, of course... Or you might even be able to just boot the Windows CD/DVD and partition from Windows Setup (again, you're using an empty disk).
