Boot Camp Partitioning Problemo

Verification failed. This disk could not be partitioned. Use Disk Utility to repair this disk.

When i went to the disk utility i got this message

You can't repair the volume you're booted from. So pop in your OSX install CD, hold C during bootup to boot off that, then you can run Disk Utility from there and repair your drive
