[X4U] Boot camp on a separate partition?

[Craig A. Finseth]

More to the point, Boot Camp really, REALLY, >>REALLY<< wants to run
on a partion on the main HD.

I tried other configurations and wound up having to reinstall the core
OS from scratch.  (It was a new install, so no harm.)

   Unless you need/want to run games . . . you might want to consider  
   either Parallels Desktop or VMWare Fusion and run Windows inside  
   Leopard. The speed hit is pretty small with Intel chipped Macs and the  
   virtual machine keeps from having to cross-boot and allows drag/drop  
   from the two environments.

   I've not used Boot Camp; so can't answer your specific question . . .  
   just wanted to make sure you had considered all the options.
