[QUOTE="MYmacROX, post: 1179421, member: 92466"] When you are in Disk Utility and attempting to partition, that is where you can adjust the size of the 2 partitions. You can certainly make one 200GB and one 120GB. Just be sure the Win7 partition is NTFS and the Mac partition is Mac OS Extended (Journaled) if you intend to use Time Machine for your Mac's backups. Drag that "bar" up or down to change the size of the two partitions. Or manually enter the GB size in that box.
