is there a way to do live partitioning from the Disk Utility?

I am trying to make the windows partition a bit bigger to fit games.

I just do not want to have to wipe out the hard drive to do so.

In Leopard's Disk Utility, yes.

What you can do 'live' (IOW without reformatting) is:
• decrease the size of a partition (of course not to less than the space occupied)
• add a partition (if there is some free space)
• increase the size of a partition if the adjacent space is free. So for example if you partitions A, B, and C and you delete partition C you can increase the size of B to cover what was previously C.

What you can't do in DU is shift entire partitions around, IOW you can't modify where a partition starts.

If you're talking boot camp, just run the boot camp utility and tell it to make the windows partition bigger.

No such option. AFAIK, you have to remove and recreate the Windows/Boot Camp partition (which means reinstalling Windows).
