Hey all. When I got my MBP last month, I set up win7 with bootcamp. I had to make the partition sizable (120GB) because of a windows-only programming class I am taking [c# sucks the big one.] I will be graduating in December, and the only use for the win7 partition will be to run VideoReDo for editing and converting media center videos (dvr-ms and wtv) I will most likely only need like 40 - 60 GB for windows. Is there a reliable way to shrink the windows partition non-destructively so I don't have to reload win7 and VideoReDo? I am open to the idea of using disk tools to make an image and restore, but am unsure how. any suggestions?

Paragon has a Boot Camp resizing tool called "CampTune", but it's not free.

Thanks! It worked like a charm. There was even a windows version on giveawayoftheday in early september. A buddy downloaded it, but didn't have a mac, so he gave it to me.
