When I installed Windows on my MacBook Pro, I allocated a 20-gigabyte partition. It turns out 5GB would have been enough. The Mac drive, on the other hand, is almost full. Is there an easy way to reduce the Windows partition?

DQ: Depending on what system you are using, Mac OS X is supposed to allow you to reorganise your hard disk in a so-called 'non-destructive' resizing. However, if you begin to fool about with disk partitions,
you must back up everything. Buy a new disk - then you can begin to experiment. You can use Apple's own tools or you can buy third-party software, such as Data Backup 3 for Mac from ProSoft Engineering (prosofteng.com). It also offers Drive Genius 2 for Mac, which it claims can repartition your disk 'on the fly'.
You once wrote about Macs that won't start. I have this problem and have no idea what to do.
