Windows - When installing Win Vista, does everything get erased?

Is it true when you install Vista on a Mac, everything in the hard drive gets erased? Does one have to reinstall Leopard also?

No. You need to run Boot Camp and great a Partition for Windows.

The only possible way to erase everything is to pick the wrong Partition when installing Vista.

All though when installing Vista, there will be a partition that says 'BOOTCAMP'
