I just bought a new Macbook and upgraded the hard drive.
I am trying to setup bootcamp on the new 500gig drive I bought, I used the disk utility to copy the original "MacIntosh Hdd" to the new 500gig. I am currently booted up on the 500gig drive, when I go to boot camp I get the error:
"The startup disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition"
I did not do any additional partitioning on the 500gig other than the 1 main partition when copying the drive using disk utility.
Anythoughts?

You need to use the disk utility to setup a partition for Bootcamp. Then boot from the MS CD/DVD to start the install process. Make sure you select the correct partition. There is a sticky at the top that has more detail.

Also, I don't think you absolutely have to use Boot Camp Assistant. Just create two partitions on your hard drive (one HFS+ & one FAT32/NTFS) using the GParted or Disk Utility and then boot from the Windows CD.
Good Luck!
