To use Boot Camp, you need:

• An Intel-based Macintosh computer with a built-in or USB keyboard and a built-in trackpad or USB mouse.
• Mac OS X 10.5 or later
• The latest firmware updates available for your Intel-based Mac.
• At least 10 GB of free space on your startup disk (single partition).
• A full, single-disc version of Windows Vista, Windows XP Home Edition or Professional with Service Pack 2 or later. Boot Camp does not include Windows. You must provide your own properly licensed installation disc.
• Important: A Windows XP installation disc must include Service Pack 2 (SP2). You cannot install an earlier version of Windows and upgrade to Windows XP, nor install an earlier version of Windows XP and update it to SP2.
• Boot Camp Assistant (find it installed in /Applications/Utilities/ on Leopard).

If vista boot camp showing unrecognized partition then you need to installl EasyBCD 1.7.2. It allows you to handle or control everything that happens while Windows Vista starts up. EasyBCD allows users to backup and restore Vista bootloader settings (damage control).

To dual boot Windows Vista and OS X without destroying OS X you will need to use Boot Camp that is only included in OS X 1.5 Leopard. You will need a copy of a Windows installation CD to use Boot Camp on your Mac and it needs to be a pretty current version of Windows.
