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.

Ditto what he says :-) 10 GB is not enough for me either. I know that Boot Camp itself does not allow you to expand the partition, but I was wondering if you could image the existing partition and restore it after making a new one.

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?

Well, here's the answer to my question, for any interested parties. Turns out it is totally possible to do what I suggested:
