I have a Mac Book Pro and use Boot Camp to run XP - I play ring games on the XP side so I can use Pokertracker, etc.

I only designated 5G of space for Windows and am running out of space.

What is the best way to increase my partition size without re-installing all of my Windows software (XP, PT, PAHUD, etc.).

I am not a Windows person so I appreciate any help you can give me.

thanks!

As far as I know, you can't increase the partition size without re-installing windows. Also, fwiw, Microsoft recommends designating at least 10GB to your XP partition for optimal performance.

Yeah, I did some research and found out it is next to impossible to increase the partition size without re-doing everything.

So, I spent time yesterday doing this and now have a 32G partition

Once I get my new code from PT, I'll be all set - thanks Hoopster!
