All mixed up with some random thoughts, photos, images and poetic words Fri, 18 Dec 2009 06:24:35 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Dave http://blog.bittube.com/2007/03/31/making-more-partition-space-for-windows-in-boot-camp/comment-page-1/#comment-27296 Dave Sun, 01 Apr 2007 09:53:29 +0000 http://blog.bittube.com/2007/03/31/making-more-partition-space-for-windows-in-boot-camp/#comment-27296 I did see a few references to some Linux Tools, and also the <code>diskutil</code> tool that was added to 10.4.6 when Boot camp became available. The impression I got was that these would not work with a physical partition, like the ones that are used for BootComp pecause of the diferent file systems (NTFS/HFS in my case) and also the different boot loading systems (mbr / what ever osx uses). You mention in your comment, and also in your Post on your site that you are using Parallels. While I do have Parallels installed, I am was actually referring not to a VM installation of windows, but an installation under BootCamp. Thanks for the info, but I am still unsure if I can use that same tool.
