Select the SnowLeopard partition and click "-" (remove partition) and Apply. This should completely remove your SnowLeopard partition. After this you can either resize your Macintosh HD partition and start over with the BootCamp or manually create Windows partitions in Disk Utility. Kevin,

You may try this:
Open Disk Utility tool and click the hard disk item in the left hand partitions list (in my case it’s 149.1 GB FUTJITSU… - see image attached to the step N4), then click the Partition tab (top center). Select the SnowLeopard partition and click “-” (remove partition) and Apply. This should completely remove your SnowLeopard partition.

After this you can either resize your Macintosh HD partition and start over with the BootCamp or manually create Windows partitions in Disk Utility.

I am still trying to figure out how to get rid of the "SnowLeopard" partition though. I want to create another partition for Windows. How did you go about this process? I have tried Boot Camp Assistant, got an error that read "the start up disk cannot be partitioned or restored to a single partition. The startup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended (Journaled) volume or already partitioned by Boot Camp Assistant for installing Windows." What am I doing wrong? Did not have any DL DVD’s around, and external was completely full, thanks.
