    I'm going to do a clean install of leopard, but I was wondering what I should do (and what will happen) to my fat32 partition ... err, wait no, NTFS partition, which I used with bootcamp to run windows from time to time. I actually haven't used it in months, since July actually.

    Anyways, I remember reading something about a new bootcamp that came out, no? Does Leopard's clean installation delete that partition? If not, should I delete it myself (how? just 'erase' on disk utility?)? Or should I keep it?

    Merci.

    If you're still on Tiger, the Boot Camp Assistant has expired.

    Yeah nothing will happen to your bootcamp partition. Just install the new drivers in the leopard dvd and you will be set.
