10.4: Backup, restore, resize, and convert Boot Camp partitions
I love the "I haven't actually tried this" disclaimer; that helps build confidence that your idea is valid and should be relied upon...
I managed to upgrade my HDD and resize my BootCamp partition all at the same time, and -- did I mention -- actually performed these actions in the real world, not merely in theory. If you aren't replacing the HDD, and are squeamish about trying to dynamically grow the partition, then you can just use WinClone to backup the BootCamp partition to a file, then use BootCamp Assistant to delete and recreate the partition, start the install, cancel out after formatting, and then use WinClone to restore the image to the new, bigger partition... Anyhow, here's my list of steps, including the HDD upgrade and making VMWare Fusion happy again after the transformation: http://lonewolf-links.blogspot.com/2007/09/mbp-w-bootcamp-seamless-hdd-upgrade.html Hopefully, it will help somebody out. --KG
