I have a new 20" iMac and installed OSX 10.5 recently. Am attempting to install Windows XP Pro SP2 with Bootcamp. In Bootcamp, when asked to create a partition, I am choosing 32 GB. In the following Windows setup, I am getting only 1 partition. On round one, I unknowingly continued the install and wiped out OSX. Blah! Now back to square one, with my iMac back to life and OSX re-installed, Bootcamp is still not giving me a second partition. Please advise. Thank you.

For some reason, Microsoft used a formatting tool in the XP installer that won't work with higher than 32GB, and that may be your problem. I'd look at what happens when you try it with a 30GB partition size. Otherwise, I'd need to know what kind of feedback you're getting when you try it.
