    Hi im just wondering if there is a way to give windows more memory in bootcamp. I installed it and everything works great but i was dumb and didnt give it enough memory. Anyway I can add more without having to re install the whole thing?

    I don't think its possible to add space to a partition once you've already created it.

    i wouldn't recommend partition magic at all, it will prolly screw things up.

    you could try running the bootcamp installer again, it might let you resize the partition.

    Actually, I think it does let you resize the partition.
