Great tip…Great product…Everything worked well and now my windows partition will hold what I need without worrying about space limitations…

Thanks for a great (probably the best) alternative to wiping, and re-installing Windows. Followed your recomendation, and other than the time WinClone was working, I probably didn't have to spend more than a few minutes to get myself another 20GB for Vista. Much appreciated.

Thanks for this post. I had exactly the same problems with my VMWare Fusion BootCamp Partition after having resized it. The hint that is given by the Fusion UI is very misleading because there is really no way to remove and add the disk in the settings dialog.

I too needed to resize, but my Boot Camp partition was FAT32. I didn't have to use any other tools besides Disk Utility and Boot Camp Assistant. As an added bonus, I got VMware Fusion using the new larger Boot Camp partition once I was all done using your tip. For FAT32 info I posted my steps for anyone that is interested. http://blog.stereodevelopment.com/2008/01/11/resize-a-boot-camp-partition-for-use-with-vmware-fusion/. Hopefully it can help your readers in a similar situation. Thanks for sharing all this with us.

The easiest way is to delete the config file and create a new Boot Camp virtual machine. All the config file does is point to your Boot Camp partition so the only thing you loose are the VM's settings - RAM, number of processors, priority, etc.

I've found myself in the same Fusion boat as you. How exactly did you create a new BootCamp config for Fusion?
