Boot Camp Special Report: Problems installing -- even after successful firmware/OS update -- fix
Some users have reported an issue where the Boot Camp Assistant refuses to proceed with installation even after firmware has been properly updated on an Intel-based Mac running Mac OS X 10.4.6.
Brad Freeman writes:
"I tried to install Boot Camp on my iMac Intel today and it keeps popping up a dialog telling me I must upgrade my system software first. I already was running 10.4.6 and installed the Firmware Update. I even tried downloading and reinstalling the Combo Update, repairing permissions, etc.. but still get the same error message. I am very disappointed right now especially after reading about many success stories."
If you are experiencing a similar issue, make sure your startup disk has a single partition in the Mac OS Extended Journaled format.
