I only wanted a small partition, so I was able to solve the problem by looking in Onyx and deleting some large files (after backing them up on an external) and putting my sleep mode to 0. This is a common problem with Boot Camp, at least from what I've seen.
Onyx 2.3.8 for mac os x 10.6 (snow leopard) install#
I have a few questions regarding a reinstall of Snow Leopard and I have found mixed answers so I was hoping some of you could shed some light.ġ) Will i actually gain anything from a reinstall of os x?Ģ) Do I use the Leopard disk to reformat, or the snow leopard disk?ģ) Will a full backup using time machine require me to reinstall my apps once i do reinstall OS X? I have iLife 09, iWork 09, and some other apps for school downloaded via the web.Ĥ) If I restore using the full backup from time machine will I get the same error message when trying to install XP via bootcamp? I have always run the disk utility and onyx at least biweekly. I did some research and discovered I could use Idefrag and possibly resolve the situation but I am also wondering if I could use a good reinstall of my OS. I tried to install 32-bit XP on a small partition (20 gb) using bootcamp but I got the error ".some files cannot be moved." It recommended I reinstall Snow Leopard and try again. I need my early '08 style MBP to do research in the lab and I must have windows. I have been able to get by with my windows based desktop until now. I had Fusion a few months ago but I was less than impressed and chose to delete it and the partition.

So I recently discovered that I need to install a few apps for school that are only windows based.
