Boot Camp tells me: The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.?

When I try to partition my disk and install Windows on it, I get the message:

"The disk cannot be partitioned because some files cannot be moved.
Back up the disk and use Disk Utility to format it as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume. Restore your information to the disk and try using Boot Camp Assistant again."

My computer has a 160GB hard drive and there is 50GB free on it. I only want to give Windows 15GB, so I should have plenty of room, however I have tried as little as 5GB, and as much as 32GB, and nothing works. I have installed XP on this MacBook before and it worked fine. I have since uninstalled it, and now I can't get it to work again. Is there anything I can do without having to format the disk?

Thank you.
