Bootcamp Partition Error: Some files cannot be moved?

Hello,

I recently uninstalled Windows XP Partition because there wasn't enough space on it. So I deleted it and tried to create another one... but unfortunately I keep getting a message telling me that some files cannot be moved? I am not sure what this means... I have tried opening Disk Utility and doing a disk repair and nothing seems to be working...

"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot e moved.

Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS X Extended (journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

Hopefully some of you Apple experts resolve this issue.

Thank you so much.

-Howard

How did you delete it? With BCA.app?
