Hello,
as many of you I'm getting ready for Snow Leopard. I will make a fresh installation (format+install) but I have a bootcamp partition that I would like to keep.

Will that be possible ? Or will the install process overwrite the boot manager and the bootcamp won't be accessible during the boot ?

Thanks,
Tex
 
I'm wondering the same thing. It would be nice if you could just point Bootcamp to the current Windows partition. I doubt it will be that easy.
 
your bootcamp partition will stay untouched.
and still bootable ?

From my Linux/Windows experience, mostly when one installs a new OS on a dual boot Windows/Linux, the master boot record gets screwed.

I know that OSX does not use MBR but I just want to double check.
