Help a noob out - Boot Camp issue

nemtizz · 13 Nov 2012 at 21:05

When I first got my Mac everything went fine with Boot Camp, installed Windows 7 without an issue, however I deleted the Windows partition a couple of weeks back due to lack of space, as it wouldn't let me modify the size of it without using command line (which I have zero knowledge of).

Re-tried it today, everything was fine until I got to installing Windows 7 - It grinds to a halt at 0% when 'expanding windows files' every time.

So I went to check if there was any issues with the disk and got this message

Any ideas? No doubt it's something super simple involving command line. My computer knowledge is poor to begin with. My Mac knowledge even less...

May as well just restore my Mac

Have you tried clearing the bootcamp again, boot up using an mac installation disc and go into disc utility there you can repair/verify. Then maybe try bootcamp again?

Sounds right. Looks like its come across a disk issue it can't fix with the OS loaded. Use the Recovery Disk Assistant from an external drive and run the Disk Utility from that instead of within the running OSX instance.
