If you're missing or accidentally deleted the Boot Camp Assistant from Macintosh HD/Applications/Utilities, you can reinstall it from your Leopard disc. With either the upgrade or install disc that came with the system inserted, go to the Go menu and select Go To Folder. Type /Volumes/Mac OS X Install DVD/System/Installation/Packages/ into the path if you have the retail Leopard disc or /Volumes/Mac OS X Install Disc 1/System/Installation/Packages for a disc that came with the computer. Double click BootCamp.pkg and you're good to go.

But this will not reboot my whole mac right
 
No, it'll just place the Boot Camp Assistant application in your Utilities folder so you can partition the drive for Windows XP or Vista. Does not to my recollection require a restart. Make sure you print out the pdf installation guide that it offers to display and follow it carefully. Skipping a step can cause trouble later on.
