I don't know what to do...
I'm trying to partition about 30 GB off of my HD so I can install Windows XP (for compatibility reasons only), and my computer is refusing to partition it. I've tried the free Boot Camp software to do it, but it failed. I tried Disk Utility, with the same result. I tried to boot from my install DVD and do the partitioning, only to have it fail on me. I've tried the command line, only for it to fail. I even tried booting from a live CD of Ubuntu (9.04, BTW) and used their partitioning util, only for it to nearly mess up my entire file system. Under normal circumstances, I would just virtualize XP, but I need the full power of my GPU so I can play games over a 2-week vacation coming up at the end of August, and everything I've tried to do has failed (though a disk repair did free up about 30 GB of data that was unallocated). HELP!
