Is it possable to re-partition the windows disc with out having to erase all the data alreadly there and re load windows? Basically I need more space on the windows side to run a couple more programs. Thank you for any help you can give.

If you are under boot camp, I don't know of a way to repartition the XP disc. I have tried Partition Magic and it can't see the disk, I assume it has something to do with Mac's EFI bios.

If there is a tool for the mac to repartition a disk like Paritition magic, I don't think you could use it either as the partition work needs to be done in XP.

I also tried to create multiple partitions during the load, but XP failed. You can create mulitple partitions on the main load of XP that much works, but when you reboot, I kept getting an error and had to go back to Mac and blow everything away and start fresh.

It would be nice to have multiple logicals under XP. However I don't think Apple is giving that any thought right now, their main focus is just to give you a workable XP solution on one drive.
