Reader Richard Lanier has a Windows issue—no, not that issue, but rather one involving size. He writes:
I’m running Windows 7 in a Boot Camp partition on my MacBook Pro. When I first configured Boot Camp I underestimated how much I’d use Windows and I’m now running out of space. How can I expand the size of the Boot Camp partition?
- Shrink the original to 100 GB and the rest for the second partition. No, you should be fine if you have no data on it. Also you do not need a recovery disk, new Mac’s come with internet recovery built in, so in case some goes wrong or your drive fails it will reinstall the OS directly from the internet as long as you are connected.
- With the gripes out of the way, let's take a look at how you can successfully resize volumes and partitions on your Mac. The Rules of Resizing Understanding how resizing works in Disk Utility will go a long way toward helping you resize a volume without experiencing any loss of information.
Parallels Desktop 7 For Mac not only integrates with many of the new features in Lion, such as Launchpad and full-screen apps, the folks at Parallels have also been tweaking the code to provide higher performance, both in the basic virtualization application and in graphics performance.
Let’s start by taking a look at a couple of tools that provide the means to a larger partition.
The easiest is Paragon’s $20 Camptune X (pictured above). What makes it so easy is that you tell Camptune the size you’d like your partition to be and, provided there’s enough free space on your Mac partition to give up some for Boot Camp, it takes care of the rest. I ran it last week on my MacBook Pro’s Boot Camp partition and after 20 minutes or so, my partition was increased from 30 to 40GB.
Easy though it may be, it’s always a good idea to have a backup of your Boot Camp partition before doing something like this. And for that backup the best tool around is Twocanoes’ $20 WinClone 3. Earlier versions of WinClone are not compatible with Apple’s latest operating system so while it may have been free once, it’s now something you must pungle up for.
Those familiar with Winclone are aware that with its help you can create a larger Boot Camp partition without losing your original Windows data. The process involves creating an image of the partition for safe keeping, deleting the original Boot Camp partition with Disk Utility, creating a new, more expansive partition; and then moving the data from the imaged partition to the new one with WinClone. Twocanoes outlines the procedure in 25 steps.
Each has its advantages. Camptune requires far less work, but if your Windows data isn’t backed up in some other way, you face the small risk of losing data if something goes wrong. The Winclone way is more involved, but it’s safer.
Before leaving the subject, allow me to offer one other suggestion. Consider running Boot Camp under virtualization. Both Parallels Desktop for Mac and VMware Fusion allow you to import your Boot Camp partition into one of their virtual machines. Once you do this, you can resize their partitions. (Just to be clear, we’re not talking about the physical Boot Camp partition that you started with, but rather one you’ve imported into the virtualization application.)
If you have a Mac made in the last few years you’ll find running Windows under virtualization as pleasant an experience as Windows can provide—particularly if you devote more than one processor to it. It saves you from the bother of rebooting to use Windows and, of course, it’s completely cool to be able to copy files between your Mac and Windows environments.
