Getting rid of Windows!

I have a MBP, 300gig HD, I have Windows XP Boot camped on half of the drive (150gig). Since I rarely use Windows anymore, can I reduce the size of that Windows volume to give my OSX side more room? If not, can I just delete the Windows side altogether and will it 'revert back'? Thanks

Either way you'll have to delete the Windows partition. There's no way to simply resize it, as far as I know.

You can, in fact, change the size of the Windows partition using CampTune. I've never wanted to get rid of my Windows partition, so I don't know if you can just delete it, but CampTune will allow you to add more room to your Mac HD partition and lessen the Windows side. Goodluck.

Easily done with CampTune from Paragon Software. $19.95.
