Partition resizing on boot volume?

Sweeper

Registered
I have a drive which is partitioned into two halves, one for Panther and the other for Tiger. My assumption is that i cannot change the allocation of disk space between the two without re=initializing the drive, is this true?

If so i'm planning on making images of the two respective systems and restoring from them once i've reset the partitions to more useable sizes. What would be the advantage/disadvantage to using the Disk Utility over Carbon Copy Cloner?

One last question, if you can bear with me...
will i have any manual resetting to do once i've restored from these images? (passwords, software registration codes, permissions related stuff etc...)

Thanks for any responses
 
I have used a third party tool to resize my boot volume. Its the partition manager from Stellar which first creates a bootable DVD for this task. After that we need to boot our Mac from this DVD and run the application to resize the bootable volume in a very easy way.
 
you replied to what is commonly called a "zombie post", this one from 5 years ago.

The original poster has in all likelihood solved his problem by now.
