I want to install vista on my mac, but my current windows partition is only 15GB. Home Premium is a 5.5GB install. when i erase my bootcamp partition and try to reform one, i can only make a 15GB one before it tells me something is in the way to m ake it any bigger. is there a program that i can use to find what is blocking my ability to make a larger bootcamp HD? or any other option to make it bigger? I assume i cant without erasing and reinstalling everything, but if there is, info on that would be appreciated.

you could run boot camp to get rid of the windows partition, thus making your mac HD whole again. Then re-run to partition again, this time choosing to make a larger partition.

At least I think that's how you can work it.
