boot camp issue

Hello,

I am trying to dual boot my mac book pro with Windows 7. When boot camp is trying to partition the drive, I keep getting an error mesage saying some files cannot be moved and I should backup my HD and reinstall with Mac OS Journaled ???

Any suggestions as to an easier way to get this done?

Thanks for any assistance,

Another way is to clone your mac to an external drive, then clone the external back to the Mac.
