Bootcamp doesn't like my HFS+ drive
Good evening all,
I am trying to install bootcamp on my 15" MacBook Pro. I've gotten the RAM maxed out at 3GB and upgraded the HDD to a 500GB samsung from OWC. I cloned my old drive to the new one using carbon copy cloner. I am running a fully upgraded leopard. I want to run windows ( probably vista 64 ultimate, maybe windows 7) on there so I can run my student version of Solidworks and also do some light gaming possibly. When I load up the Bootcamp assistant it says there is not an HFS+ journaled drive, however my drive IS HFS+, and its "get info" also says it is! What are some trouble shooting tips so I can get this figured out.

Open up Disk Utility (found in /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.app) and do the following:
1) Get info (Command + i) on your physical hard drive and post the Partition Map Scheme. It should be GUID Partition Table
2) Get info on your Mac OS X partition, and post the File System (should be Mac OS Extended (Journaled))
