[QUOTE="smartyMAC, post: 532762, member: 33037"] If you anyways plan to upgrade to leopard (i am assuming clean install) why dont you do it during installation. unfortunately bootcamp sometimes gives problems in restoring back to single partition. I have succeeded in doing it only once out of 4 times i tried. Rest of the time i had to do a format and reinstall. If you want to upgrade (not complete format) leopard then you can use the existing Mac partition to install leopard using upgrade or A&I option. Thereafter make a time machine backup of the Mac partition and then do a clean install. You restore everything using TM backup. That way you dont loose anything. Might sound a lengthy process but anyhow you might end up spending same amount of time on other options. [/QUOTE]
