There was a thread on this a long while back that ended without resolution, where someone said they were going to try the image-and-restore idea. Does it work?

Changing partition size
How can I change the partition using bootcamp? I used the original bootcamp to patition my drive. I set the pc drive to 10gb. I want to increase the drive size. I have reviewed the Bootcamp insructions and it does not appear to address my issue.
