One solution found on the interwebs is to use iDefrag to defrag your computer. I am not a fan of this, as I am on a budget :). As an alternative, try these steps:
- Open up Disk Utility.
- Navigate to the Partitions tab.
- Shrink your primary partition by the amount of space you want your Boot Camp partition to take up. NOTE: You may need to do this in two or three tries, as Disk Utility may throw an error if you try to resize by too large an amount. I had to do it in three small increments.
- Now that the partition has shrunk, expand the partition so it covers the rest of the disk, or as much space as you would like.
- Run Boot Camp Assistant. Everything should now run smoothly.
