Hi,
I'm preaty new to Mac.
I have MBP, an Intel based laptop. Currently I'm running a 10.4.11 and Windows Vista via BootCamp utility.
Basically... I have 2 partitions, one with MacOS, another one with Vista.
I want to upgrade the MacOS shell to Leopard.

My questions are:
If I want a clean install of Leopard, when I erase the MacOS partition, the partion with Vista suffers? The computer is able to boot in Windows even I do not install the Leopard system?

Thank you in advance!

this is something I have not tried. I can't see a reason you shouldn't be able to either upgrade, or erase and install Mac OS X while leaving Vista in tact at all. I would as always make sure I had a backup first however.

The Vista partition should be untouched the the Leopard installer. As houltmac mentioned, backup just in case.
