I've installed Boot Camp, and now have the Boot Camp partition accessible on my Desktop in Leopard. Is there any way I can copy and paste files from my folders in Leopard to the Desktop folder in this partition?

it depends whether your bootcamp partition is ntfs or fat32.
if it is ntfs you won't be able to write files onto that partition (OS X has no native ntfs write support). However, there is a way around it (check out my post on ntfs 3g, macfuse, imountit)
there is also a beta called mac ntfs. it's an app that basically gives you ntfs write features but it is still in beta.

I partitioned the hard drive on my mac three ways: one for OS X, one for XP and the third one FAT-32 for sharing data.
Check it out at http://twoyearstwodays.blogspot.com/
So far it is working well but I had to reinstall everything from scratch.

a nice idea and great tutorial..but not a solution for me personally...
don't want to split my hd even further but it's def. worth a try for people who don't want to purchase macdrive for example.
