Hello, oakley88:
Install Leopard. BootCamp was a beta download before Leopard's release. Now, BootCamp is a Leopard feature.

Hello, oakley88:
If you want to run Mac OS X and Windows with BootCamp, then you'll need two partitions: one for each operating system.
If you want to reformat with one partition - with Mac OS X Leopard only - then run the Leopard installer and select Erase and Install.

hi david,
i did the Erase and Install. I install the leopard on partition 1 and my partition 2 is empty. So I open the boot camp assistance, then i click continue, a small window pop up says: the starup disk must be formatted as a single Mac OS Extended ( Journaled ) volume or already partitioned by boot camp assistance for intalling windows.

If you don't plan on using a second partition to install Windows with Boot Camp, then - yes - you only need one partition for Mac OS X.
Remember that you can still run Windows if you only have one partition, but you'll need to install either Parallels or Fusion - virtualization software.

i understand what your saying. But right now what is my concern is want know how to format everything in the macbook and reinstall the Mac OS x Leopard.
Exemple: format all the HD ( like i just bought brand new HD ) and after that install a fresh copy of Mac OS X .
thank

Hello, oakley88:
You could, as you say, restore your system to the factory state by using the System Restore DVD(s) that came with your computer, and then install Leopard. However, if you use the Leopard installer to do an Erase and Install, the result will be the same.
Cheers

I'd like to add, that if you don't want to reinstall or upgrade the iLife applications (iMovie, iWeb, etc.) separately, then you should do a system restore, and then (upgrade) install Leopard. Leopard does not include the iLife applications. However, as mentioned above, you can install the iLife applications after installing Leopard, if you have the iLife installer.
