Mac Forum / Applications / Mac Applications / May 2008resize bootcamp partition
Hello, I have a bit of a problem. I am running 10.5.2 on my MacBook, and I have a windows vista partition that is configured for boot camp and Parallels. My problem is that when I originally created my partition, I was somewhat short-sighted, and now the partition is nearly full. I purchased the "upgraded" version of Parallels that includes an Arcronis utility that is supposed to be able to increase the partition size. But this operation has failed every time I have attempted it (about 5 times with attempts at 5 different sizes). I am wondering if anyone here has had a similar problem and how and if they were able to fix it. While the problem is not yet critical, I only have about 4 gigs of free space left on my windows partition. I would sure like to find a solution for this.

Man! That solution is way more extreme than what I was hoping for. It took some serious pain to get windows vista configured for use in both parallels and boot camp. I suppose this may be what I have to do, though. Thanks for the response. Any other ideas? > to clone the > BootCamp partition at the end using "Winclone for MAC", it is free Sean & Juan- Can't Apple's Boot Camp Assistant.app resize the Boot Camp partition? If so, can you first clone the existing Windows partition to an image on the Macintosh partition, resize it, and clone the image back?
