Hello,

I just bought a Windows 7 Home Premium and used Boot camp to install it on my Mac. Unfortunately I didnt partition enough hard drive space. I plan on uninstalling Windows 7 and installing it again but partitioning more space. Will I still be able to use the same Key code or will it block me? Or is there any other way I can re-partition more space?

Thanks

Yes, buy the very handy "CampTune" application from Paragon software and you can expand your Win 7 partition non-destructively without reinstalling Win 7. $19.95.

Boot camp

Boot into Mac OS X and run the BootCamp Assistant wizard again and use it to remove the Bootcamp partition and return your Mac to a single Partition.

There is no need to use any other third party tools.

Nope, no need.

Unless you like the idea of enlarging that partition in about 1 minute instead of the 1-2 hours minimum it's going to take by removing and re-installing Windows, the drivers, the updates and restoring your backup of windows.
