    Hi.

    A fresh MBP (the old breed) owner here. I was wondering, if there's an easy way to bump the Win partition size from 32GB to something more substantial? A few days back I read of an program that lets you change the size of the partition with no fuzz, but now I can't seem to find it. If anyone could point me in the right direction it would be appreciated.

    A resizing application might help out, but there is a much less chance of error if you back up all your data files (music, word doc's, etc) on the boot camp drive, run the boot camp wizard to delete the boot camp partition, then re-setup the boot camp partition with the wizard with your new desired size. It's a pain, but you'll run into less issues this way.
