Hi Tom, This would now be a multi-step process whereby you shrink the second partition first, then have the main partition expand to use up the remaining space. So, in Disk Utility, select your HD, then the Partition tab ,Interact with the list of partitions, and VO-shift-space to simulate the mouse-click on the second partition. Stop interacting with the list of partitions then enter 50 into the Edit field for that partition and apply the change. This will make the second partition the correct size and leave the remainder as free space. You should then be able to select your Macintosh HD partition in the same manner and resize it. this is where my memory is failing me. I seem to recall that I had to do something special to make it use up the free space but I can't remember what I did at this point. It is totally doable using Terminal with the diskutil resize command if you feel like using the command line but should be doable in Disk Utility as well.

I purchased both this and bootcamp backup for $19.95. It allowed me to enlarge my bootcamp partition without reinstalling anything. The software is totally VO compatible.
