I got a problem I made my Windows partition 10gbs and install a few stuff
and is just on 4 gigs of free space left.

How do I resize the Windows Parition to aleast 5 gigs more make it like 15gb
so I have more space for work and productivity.

Does Boot Camp be able to resize I opened it up and cound'nt find the option
to do it.

What do I do Now ?? :confused:

I highly recommend you find ways to either delete unneeded files, or be willing to delete the Windows partition and recreate it. Mac OS X 10.4.6's new feature to resize partitions only works with HFS+ volumes, so your Windows partition is fixed at whatever your original size was. DO NOT use any other partition tools, as none fully understand the hybrid GPT/MBR partition scheme used on the Intel Macs - they will destroy your data.

Some areas you can likely reclaim data are the temporary Windows Update downloads (located at C:\WINDOWS\SoftwareDistribution\Download\), and if you have a lot of memory, you can try turning off Virtual Memory, although it's not recommended.
