I bootcamped XP. I didn't think I needed that much space for Guild Wars, Xfire and Teamspeak (since that's all I was to use it for) so I only gave it a 10 GB partition. What I didn't anticipate was that I'd start getting back into Counterstrike. I'm not sure if I'm going to have enough space for CS 1.6 and Source. I mean I think I should. I have just over 7 GB left on there, but just incase, is there anyway to add on some more space from my Mac partition?

Besides your problem, if you only install CS Source, it only takes up a 1-2 GBs of space. Not sure how much CS 1.6 takes up. But there really isn't a way to control it because Macs use the different partition scheme that Vista wouldn't "understand," so unfortunately you have to erase everything and start over again.

Not entirely correct, Numberzz. I believe iPartition can resize HFS+ and NTFS non-destructively. You'll need to make a boot disc for it though.

And if it can't, turn off journaling on your Mac partition and use Gparted to do it. Just remember to install rEFIt before you change the sizes and then resync the GPT and MBR with it after you're done, or else all kinds of screwy things will happen.

Thank you for the help guys. I think I'm just going to delete everything and start over. It's easier that way. I don't know how to install bootloaders and resync any of that so I'm just gonna do it the way I know. First I'm going to see if 7GBs is enough though. No sense in redoing everything if it'll all fit.

AFAIK, if your XP drive is FAT32, just use the BootCamp Tool.

 

Speaking from personal experience donot try gParted, it is gonna kill your MBR, which even rEFIt cant fix.

 

iPartition seems like a nice tool though.
