    Hi,

    I want to increase the Boot Camp partition, I remember hearing that it's possible with Parallels 4, but it doesn't let me... What's the problem?
    If I can't do it I might try Winclone, Camptune or iPartition. The problem is that it sees that I have to change the format from FAT32 to NTFS. If I do so, does it still work with my previuosly installed Parallels? (As it changes a lot of things I assume). In the greater picture, is it possible to do so?
    Please give me hints on which is the best and what should I do.
    Thanks.

    Boot Camp partition is not possible to increase without third party software (not Acronis from bundle), or reinstalling,
    Parallels Desktop cam only extends virtual disk

    Thanks for your attention...
    what about the other question: what is the best software to increase boot camp partition having in mind that I use Parallels?
    My boot camp partition is FAT32, It seems that I have to change to NTFS to achive greater sizes, does NTFS work with Parallels?
