Windows and Leopard on iMac

Asked by gallandjc in Bootcamp, Windows Vista, Leopard (MAC OS 10.5)

Hello
I am planning to buy the new Apple iMac (20" iMac - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.0GHz, 1GB Memory, 250GB Hard Drive) but I would like it to to be able to run Windows Vista basic as a second OS, the first one being Leopard. I am thus thinking about using boot camp to install Windows and choose which OS to use at the startup process. I think I will use Windows as much as Leopard. My questions are:
- What partition size should I reserve to Windows?
- Once everything is setup, will I be able to access files from the other partition (ex: running Windows and opening MP3 files stored on the Leopard partition)?
