Reduce partition size

[anmldr]

I am using Windows Vista less and less on my MacBook and the partition takes up about 1/2 of the hard disk space. I tried using Disk Utility but I guess I don't know what I am doing. I choose the Partition button. In the Volume Scheme, I choose the partition that has Windows on it. In the Volume Information text box, I tried to enter a smaller size but the Apply button is grayed out.

So, how do I reduce the size of the partition that Windows is installed on?

I guess I am not quite brave enough to completely delete Windows from the machine....I "might" need it occasionally.

Windows is being used by Boot Camp.

Thank you,
Linda

Download the free "CampTune for OS X" from Paragon Software. It can resize a Boot Camp partition non-destructively. Download from here.

Be sure to make a backup of your OS X partition first. Use Time Machine.
