I have installed vista using bootcamp and now im seeing that i need more/bigger disk space for windows. I use 60GB for my windows partition, and I wish to increase it to another 40GB. Is it possible to do this or do i need to reinstall windows through bootcamp again?

it doesnt work cos once you have windows installed you will only have the option to remove it
