I did not try... I did. :-)
I have been partitioning my HDs since my Beige PowerMac G3.

When I bought the iMac I'm using right now, I didn't know about Bootcamp
being "picky".
Hence I did what I usually do, I partitioned its HD into 6 partitions
(included one for Bootcamp itself) and copied/installed all my data and
apps.
Only AFTER this, I discovered Bootcamp wants a HD with just one partition;
thus, to comply with that I would need to reformat my HD.

Yes but, as far as I understood, ONLY if my data reside in just the only ONE
partition.

What I thought I'd do (and what would have been much user-friendly), would
be telling Bootcamp "Would you kindly* install on the partition I tell you
to use?".
Alas, that's not the way it works (and, being free, one cannot even
complain. ;-)

If you know differently, please let me know.
