CampTune requires that you burn a cd then boot from that cd. (I have read lots of unfortunate stories from people that didnt backup before using CampTune so back it up and save yourself.) CampTune includes a nifty little backup tool for the paranoid folks like myself. First try to resize the partition generated a Disk i/o error. Second try generated a 'cross-linked files' error.

In Mac OS disk utility partition tab, I stretched the Mac partition to include all of the space between the 2 partitions. (there was some evidence from postings online that this is a problem) Then, in Mac OS disk utility, I ran repair disk. Hope this saves someone the headaches I had! third time was a charm! Worked perfectly and both partitions are now humming away nicely.

Since the original post is from 2011, I though I would offer the experience I had recently with Camptune.Д¬ONTEXT: Yesterday, I bought a new MacBook Pro (Retina, 13').

I used Bootcamp to create a partition (formatted NTFS - that was the only choice) and installed Windows 7 professional. When I made the bootcamp partition I split my drive 50/50 (i.e. 250GB for the Mac and Windows/Bootcamp partitions). Within hours I had second thoughts because I will use this machine primarily as a Windows machine. I felt I had made a mistake to not make my Bootcamp partition larger.Д«ecause I had just bought the computer (and had only invested a day of my time) I figured that I would bit the bullet and go throught the process of killing my Bootcamp partition, recreating it, reinstalling Windows, etc. before going futher down the path of getting my machine 'all set up' and ready to use. I did some searching online before beginning the process and I'm so glad I did. I just installed CampTune X (through a digital download), installed the product, and changed my partition size. The whole process (front to back) took about 15 minutes. I realize that I might be a slightly different situtation than most with a new/clean machine already formatted to NTFS. I have seen others have problems due to FAT partitions and matching versions of Mac OS with a compatible version of Camptune. But I have to say that my experience was flawless and the $19.99 was TOTALLY worth it. Thought I'd my experience because while this is an old thread, it still comes up pretty high on the google searches. I was in a similar situation that most people, I rarely use bootcamp I'm mostly in OS X so I originally created a 60 Gigabyte p artition, and I was often fighting for space in spite of only really using web browsers and MS office, so wanted to increase to 90Gig. My setup: Early 2014 MBP Retina 15', OS X Yosemite, 512 SSD encrypted with file vault.

#Ipartition vs camptune upgradeД«ootcamp 5.1, with a VM installed as Windows 8.1 upgraded to 10 (It was the upgrade to win 10 that took my freespace down to zero). I was paranoid about loosing data, so I actually backed up 2 different ways first, and checked both filesystems (NTFS and OSX's) before starting, this ended up taking longer than camptjne. With Camptune X (Version 10) the experience was shockingly easy, no need for a bootable CD or anything else, and you no longer need to decrypt via FileVault. The product was simple, just run it and move the slide, I found the hardest thing was to get through the activation process.

I will however say that I dispute the claim that it changes your partitions in minutes, it's really more like a full hour (maybe a little more, I wasn't looking at the clock). When it starts the operation, for all intensive purposes it seemed that the computer was locked up I could use other apps, mouse would respond, but nothing was clickable, and even the light went out on the battery.
