So, I've got a Windows partition that's only ~25 GB and I've got Dawn of War on it, which has basically taken up all the room. I downloaded the demo for Crossover Games and tried installing Dead Space using the AutoRun.exe file but I get an error message every time and the set up terminates. I've been looking for a way to resize the partition but I haven't had much luck. iPartition seems like it'd work but $50 is too much and gParted is too complicated.

Can anybody help me out here?

hello and welcome!

the best solution I can see here is as follows:
-download winclone
-use it to create a cloned image of the windows partition, preferably to an external HDD, but you can use the internal one aswell. Also do a preparatory Time Machine back up, just in case.
-delete your Boot Camp partition using the Boot Camp Utility **
-create a fresh larger partition, but do not restart the computer
-use Winclone to clone back from the image to the new partition.
-boot into windows. It will automatically recognise the new partition size without a problem.

**at this stage, you may need to insert your leopard or system disc in order to access the Disk Utility app on there (its in the menu bar when the DVD has loaded up) and repair the partition. Its a very common problem, but 99% of the time will not be indicative of a major problem, and should be able to fix it without problems. Then reboot into OSX and continue.

hope that helps.
If you need any clarifications, or stumble into a problem just cry out in pain and anguish. If someones passing by, Im sure theyll consider helping...
