10.5: Verify partition map prior to upgrading
Authored by: cm on Mon, Oct 29 2007 at 7:43AM PDT

I had this problem as well. The only problem I ever had before leopard was that I couldn't actually get Boot Camp to partition my drive. Coincidently for this upgrade I bought a new drive. So I installed on the new drive and then used the migration assistant to move over all my stuff. The migration assistant took about an hour or two, but I was really impressed with the output. All of my documents and applications are now happily running on my new setup without any license or path issues.
