Chris That is correct. You need to format the Boot Camp partition. So, you select your partition, then click advanced. That brings up another screen where you do the formatting. This is why it isn't usually possible to install Windows under Boot Camp without help.

The reason I am asking is my friend Gary Price wishes to install Windows 7 on his Mac via Bootcamp. According to some research, you have to click drive options (advanced), then format, then ok, before Windows 7 will install to the Bootcamp partition. Thank you for any information you may have on this. It will be greatly appreciated.
