Expanding Boot Camp partition?

[MythicFrost]

Hey I'd like to expand my 40GB BC partition to a little larger, is that possible?

Ah I see, thank you. It appears it's not as simple as I wanted, and is not worth the effort.

That's a pretty accurate summary, unfortunately.

Basically you have to...

1. Clone your current Boot Camp partition to an external drive using something like WinClone - it is free

2. Delete your current Boot Camp partition with Boot Camp Assistant

3. Create a new larger Boot Camp partition with Boot Camp Assistant

4. Restore your clone

Woof, Woof - Dawg

Well you could give Paragon CampTune a try as mentioned in the guide which is stickied to the top of the forum (for crying out loud).

Don't attempt without a verified backup of your system though...

Ah thanks, it's still a bit too much effort for me though, I've just uninstalled Crysis: Warhead & Crysis Wars, which freed up a lot of space.

PS: I never even see stickies
