Changing partition size with Boot Camp?

Question

Changing partition size with Boot Camp?

I need more Mac disc space and less XP disc space. How do I change the size of the partition without wiping out what is on my Windows disc?

You will need to backup your Windows volume, then use Boot Camp Assistant to delete the existing partition and create a new one.

A convenient way to backup your Windows volume is to use the freeware WinClone - VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

You cannot. You must wipe.
