How to resize your BOOTCAMP partition

Okay. You've made a bootcamp partition, have installed stuff on it, and have run out of space. You want to get more space w/out re-installing everything. Here's how:
1. Download WinClone (http://www.twocanoes.com/winclone/).
2. Install and open.
3. Click 'Agree', and then in the new window (pictured below), click 'Image' once it finishes loading. Save it on your desktop and name it 'Image'. Enter your password when prompted. Then, it'll take a while while it images the bootcamp partition. Once it is done, open BootCamp Assistant and delete your bootcamp partition. Now, open Bootcamp Assistant again and create a BootCamp partition with the new size you want. Once it is done, open WinClone and go to the 'Restore' tab. In the 'Restore Image' section, click 'Select Image'. In the popup window, go to your desktop and double-click the image file you made before. In 'Destination', select your new Bootcamp partition. Click 'Restore'. If asked for your password, enter it. Once restored, in WinClone, got to Tools > Expand WIndows (NTFS) Filesystem. Click 'Expand'. Done! Within a few hours at most, you should have a resized bootcamp partition!
