Clean installing Tiger without trashing Windows installation

[angelodmhl]

Basically, what the title says.
I created a bootcamp partition under Leopard (10.5.1), and i'm thinking about going back to Tiger, since Leopard is just a glorified beta at this point. 😛 Can i erase my Mac OS partition without affecting boot camp? Will i be able to boot windows after i install tiger again?

That's a great question. I would think, installing Tiger into a separate partition will have no impact on your bootcamp partition since they are separate.

Should work but lets us know once you try. 🙂

I'm fairly certain you should be able to still boot to windows if you install Tiger again - just make sure you don't remove any partitions!

Don't forget you can hold down option at startup to manually select the boot partition if worse comes to worse.
