Reformatting Macbook, Bootcamp Partition

[Phish30]

Here's the deal,
A while back i decided to get bootcamp up and running on my macbook. that's all and good except i made it a 20gig partition, which is good for practically nothing. i would like to increase it to 50 gigs or so and my computer wont let me do that. So i've decided to go with a back up on a 500GB western Digital Elements and start over new.

So my question is, how do i go about doing this? (backing up EVERYTHING and reformatting) and possibly if i don't have to reformat id prefer not to.

The simplest way I know to increase the size of your boot camp partition is as follows:

1. clone your windows partition using WinClone, it is free.
2. delete your windows partition using boot camp assistant
3. create a new (larger) partition using boot camp assistant
4. restore your clone to the new partition

the problem is it will not let me delete the partition. it is "sectional" or something of the sort, i dont remember. so im thinking the only thing to do is combine the two drives into one and start from zero. ill go get the specifics...
