Hey there.. So I'm running leopard 10.5.6 on my macbook and windows xp under boot camp. I recently resized my macbook hard drive and made it smaller using disk utility, thinking I could use the space to increase my windows partition but I can't seem to in OSX or Windows using Partition Magic. Anyway I was wondering is there any way to merge the space back to my OSX partition, or is doing a clean install of OSX the only way?

I included a screenshot

Thanks.

You can increase the Windows partition with GParted, which comes with the Ubuntu Live CD but also has its own Live CD.

There is no system but GNU and Linux is one of its kernels. Join the FSF as an Associate Member!
