[X4U] Boot camp on a separate partition?

[Christopher Collins]

Just use the Boot Camp wizard. This isn't Windows. The Boot Camp  
wizard just does what is needed and makes it all work properly.

And using a boot camp partition keeps your Windows away from Mac OS X.

You can still use either Fusion or Parallels but not Virtualbox to  
access a Boot Camp Partition from inside Leopard.
