yup, and the drive in there is only a couple days old- formatted it,
and copied contents to it with superduper!, so it should be basically
not fragmentted at all...
turns out the problem the was the partition table was mbr, but boot
camp needs it to be gpt. a nicer error message would be nice. also
boot camp assistant- although it claims to prep the install for xp or
vista- formats your new partition as fat32. vista requires ntfs (so
you need to reformat partition during windows setup), and obviously xp
works with ntfs, so why not format it as ntfs? weird.
