Reinstalling Windows XP after Leopard install?

Do I have to re-install Bootcamp, repartition my hard drive and reinstall Windows XP on my computer after installing Leopard?

Not unless you did a clean install - why, is your partition gone?

I am about to install Leopard. I did not phrase my question very well. What I need to know is what will happen to my partition after I install the new OS.

Nothing. You merely install 10.5 over the 10.4 partition (your choice: upgrade, archive&install or clean install). The BootCamp partition isn't touched. Once you've installed 10.5, boot into Windows and pop in the Leopard DVD. Contains new drivers for BootCamp.
