    Have new macbook air. Partioned 50/50 with boot camp. Created bootable mem stick with win7 .iso file with microsoft 7 usb/dvd download tool. Ran refit on mac and booted from stick drive, insalled win 7 and drivers provided for win with boot camp. Running vm fusion ware allowing mac win and win 7 to run side by side as virtual machine. Works great. ?? is how to resize the disk partition. vm fusion help is not helpfful, suggests selections that don't exist.

    Thanks

    You cant resize the partition using VMWare. In fact I am not sure if you can even resize the partition without deleting the bootcamp partition and remaking it again.
