    How often do you all clean up your hard drive and install Leopard again? I did this on a PC a few weeks ago and it made a significant difference in speed.
    I have a Windows partition I installed using Boot Camp.

    My question is, how do I reformat (and how often) without messing with the Windows partition?

    You don't really need to, unless you're having problems.

    The "reinstall annually" mentality from our Windows brethren isn't really applicable to Mac OS X.
