I'm getting this error when I go to run Boot Camp on Leopard 10.5.2 as well as 10.5 after I re-installed the OS again. I have also downloaded the combo update for 10.5.2 and that did not help.

I get the message as soon as I go to continue the install.

I have now tried by re-formating the HD and re-install of OS X Leopard 10.5 and still the same message.

Is it version 2.0?

Make sure the drive is set up with the GUID partition scheme. This article is for BC Beta, but it still applies:

Boot Camp Assistant Beta: Not compatible with disk partition utilities

What computer are you running this on?

I'm going to guess the latest. It's an install from a Leopard install disc onto an iMac Core 2 Duo (Silver) iMac

I will have a look at this and give a try, thanks

Just did a quick search at Apple's support site. According to a post on Apple's forums, check to make sure you have journaling enabled on your drive.

Ya, the partition is set with Journaling.

Working now. Had a look at this article. I did not realize that with Leopard you now have the ability to create, remove, & adjust partitions while booted into the OS as well as with not losing or having to reformat and lose your installed OS.

Article: Resize Disk Partitions : Make Mac Work

Basically, I added, removed and adjusted the portions and got it back to one which really, not sure what would change, but once changed back to one partition "Boot Camp" then worked for me. Odd, but worked.

New site for me and looks like a lot of good stuff on there Make Mac Work

You can only have one partition on the drive before using Boot Camp Assistant. Normally, however, you'd get an error stating that instead of the one you got.
