Did you ever fix this problem? Coz I'm having the same issue. If so how did you solve it? Email me y2kblackout@hotmail.com I'm in desperation. I know there is nothing wrong with my hdd or hardware is something to do with boot camp and the windows partition. Even tho I repartitioned the hdd as one in os x it still won't install. Please help. Oh and I have a MacBook pro.
