Bootcamp. Is this normal?

[Barks]

The problem is that the drive is formatted as such so the message doesn't make sense.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Cheers

That's a lot of effort though. Can I need defrag it?

I've managed to free up 40GB. How much do I need for a Windows XP Home Edition (SP2) partition?

If I do a complete Time Machine backup, is that enough to do a complete system restore?

Many thanks

I am so unbelievably ****ed off now. Spent £22 on iDefrag and the sodding Coriolis CDMaker doesn't work. Sent this to their support:

I have Snow Leopard and 134.6GB available disc space on a 320GB drive.

i have a 4.7GB DVD-R in the drive and selected to download the DVD - Universal files when prompted.

After clicking 'Burn' it says "preparing image" for half a second and then reports the following message:

"There was a problem preparing the disk image. Check that you have sufficient disk space and try again. If the problem persists, please report the problem to Coriolis Systems."

Would really appreciate some help here, I only wanted the software to do a full defrag from boot and this makes that impossible!

I thought Macs were supposed to just work. Obviously not because right now I'm not missing Windows one bit

Do I need to worry about antivirus/firewall in Bootcamp? Is it possible for a virus to access the Mac partition of the HD from Windows within bootcamp?

I've got it sorted now mate. Cloned the drive to an external HD, booted from that and then defragmented the internal drive. Worked like a treat. I already had a full Time Machine backup but I didn't trust it, I was terrified I'd format the internal drive and then wouldn't be able to restore or something like that.

Put AVS on, that should do the trick.
