    Hi,

    I have two partitions - Leopard partition and I have vista x86 (through bootcamp) on the other partition. Is it possible to resize leopard partition? I want to make it bigger, but I do not want to delete/reinstall my vista.

    Thanks,
    rad

    Apparently there is a new resize on the fly capability in Leopards Boot Camp. I wouldn't really trust it though, especially if you're shrinking the Vista partition. There's just too much chance of something getting messed up there.

    I would suggest backing up what you can in Vista and reinstalling it on a smaller partition.

    Yeah, i was thinking about using that, just wanted to check. I think I will make an image of my vista partition using acronis disk image or something similar, and then resize. I could always restore it later..

    anyway, thanks system_159.
