Does Bootcamp Support Windows 7 ?

Okay.. boot camp is telling me that it can not format the partition because some files are in use. It wants me to back the computer up, reformat to a single disk, and then try it again. Any other ways besides going this route? I'm sure that doing this would take 3-4 hours to do.. ? There must be some easier way.. does anyone know offhand?
I'm not sure about your particular problem, but Boot Camp does support Windows 7. People have been using Windows 7 on their Macs since the W7 Beta, using the previous version of Boot Camp. There were some issues, like the LED back-lit keyboard not being able to turn off completely, and an issue with the audio-in/headphone jack. However, last week Apple released the latest version of Boot Camp with "official" support for Windows 7. There's a few posts about it in the Apple section.
How much free space do you have on the drive?Okay.. boot camp is telling me that it can not format the partition because some files are in use.
I have something like 60 gigs at least that are free on the drive.
I tried doing it, but it wanted me to back it up with time machine and then reinstate the drive or something crazy.. too much work just to enjoy a few small games on this macbook =\

Sounds like a problem I had recently with boot camp on a new 27" iMac, I ended up booting of the OSX install disk and using Disk utility to repair the disk, I was then able to partition and install Windows 7 (however I couldn't complete the install because apparently due to a bug I need to purchase a Display port adapter for a second screen etc...)
