Snow Leopard Clean Re-Install

[kruszczyk]

Hi
Due to certain problems with Logic Pro 8 I've got to do a clean re-install of Snow Leopard. But there is a problem: bootcamp partition. It was created with Snow Leopard to install Windows 7. Can I possibly do a clean install of Snow Leopard without losing Windows OS? Formatting only the Mac partition will do the trick? I ask you people because I've found various information on the web, although most threads concerned migration mac system as well

You can do a clean install of Mac OS X without touching or "harming" the BC Windows partition.
Just make sure you only erase the Snow Leopard partition.

thanks a lot for fast reply, and the tutorials, although I've done a clean re-install already so I know what to do 🙂

No problem.

Maybe the tutorials can be helpful to new users, who do come upon this thread looking for the answer to the same problem.
