changing win.partition size without starting from scratch.

[alecmcmahon]

ive got bootcamp running winxp smooth right now.

problem is, i only selected myself 20 gigs of space for my windows partition.... And quickly ran out of space after installing some games..

I'd like to make the partition bigger without having to format it and start from scratch reinstalling all my stuff...

i dont see an option in bootcamp to do so? does anybody know the way?

AFAIK starting from scratch is the only way to go.

I think you may be able to use gparted but I'm really not sure.

You can't do it - the option is erase the bootcamp partition and start again.

Of course you may be able to save your bootcamp stuff and apply it to the new partition when you're done... But then again, maybe not

couldn't you use iPartition (mac) or Partition Magic (Win) to resize? Or is there something inherent with bootcamp partitions that doesn't allow this?
