Awhile back, I used the Boot Camp Assistant beta to partition my hard drive. Recently i purchased Crossover and I no long have a need for the large partition taking up one fifth of my hard drive space. The Beta has since expired and i need to know how to restore my hard drive. thanks for the help.

Set the clock to before 12/31/2007 and try running Boot Camp Assistant.

This is assuming, of course, that you are not running Leopard. If you are, use Boot Camp assistant from your Utilities folder. No need to change the clock back.
