I'm getting an MB soon (not pro) and I was wondering if it's possible to change the disk space partitions for OSX and XP after you do it initially.

I require thy eternal wisdom! Please answer mine question, and thou shalt be rewarded with the bannanas of a thousand hamsters!

kthxbye
 
It is possible with applications like Winclone but there are risks inherent with this activity. Although i have done it myself multiple times, about 7 without error.

Or you could just use the bootcamp assistant to delete the partition and then recreate it and then reinstall windows (Winclone does all of this but without the need to reinstall windows)
 
Yes, I believe it's possible in XP using the 'Control Panel'. You should be able to find something relating your question there. Don't know how to change the partitions in OSX though...

What kind of risks?
Some of the stuff I've heard about Bootcamp is a bit scary.
