So I spent quite a while attempting to set up any kind of boot camp partition(kept getting files cannot be moved errors) but I got it, eventually. I ended up creating a 20 GB FAT partition for windows, which was a mistake. I intend to use my windows side to burn backups of games and what not, using macdrive to move the files to the Windows side. But the problem is I was stupid and now I don't have enough space to even move the files. So my questions are, what is the way I should go about deleting my Windows partition without losing space? (I keep hearing about people having "ghost space" taken up on their HDD) How big should my partition be in order to move 8 GB files to my Windows side while still having some space left? Also, if I used an NTFS partition over a FAT one, could I still move the files to my Windows side or no?

Any answers would be greatly appreciated.:)
