I wanted to expand my Boot Camp Partition and followed Winclones instructions. I come up with errors and I haven't been able to reinstall Windows through Winclone. I have 3 Winclone images and none work. Here is a copy of the log: Wed Jan 20 11:45:27 EST 2010: Partition is : /dev/disk0s3 Wed Jan 20 11:45:34 EST 2010 Wed Jan 20 11:45:34 EST 2010: Restoring: Wed Jan 20 11:45:34 EST 2010: '/Applications/Winclone.app/Contents/Resources/winclone.perl' -restore -copy_bcd '/Applications/Winclone.app/Contents/Resources/BCD' -disk_device /dev/disk0 -ntfs_partition /dev/disk0s3 -v -update_bootini -q -image_dir='/Users/donlulejian/Desktop/WinXp3.winclone' -gptrefresh_path='/Applications/Winclone.app/Contents/Resources' -ntfstools_dir=/Library/NTFSProgs >> ~/Library/Logs/Winclone.log 2>&1 & restoring..... getting fdisk info..... validating partition type..... checking image size..... image size file exists, opening..... reading image file.../Users/donlulejian/Desktop/WinXp3.winclone/size.. read image file.../Users/donlulejian/Desktop/WinXp3.winclone/size.. done calculating.. done checking size.. checking format of image..

I've had similar issues with Winclone. There was a long thread about this on the Winclone forum some time back, with many suggestions from the developer and NO resolution. I finally just gave up trying to expand the bootcamp partition using Winclone. Not worth the headache. I do check back from time to time to see if there has been an update, but the current version is still 2.2. It's a great backup/restore tool, but the resize business is just going to give you high blood pressure.
Thanks for the reply. I researched this issue for quite awhile and it seems that Winclone restore was affected by Snow Leopard. There is more than a few of us that are out of luck. Maybe the next version 10.6.3 will allow the restoration process again. I guess a Windows backup would have been prudent.
