This worked for me, but the partition was the same size as the original with the free space not allocated to windows. Go into the Winclone preferences and enable the 'Use ASR to restore compressed images' and try again. If it fails, you have probably not shut down windows properly before your backup. If this works out-of-the-box you are in luck and can skip the rest of this step. Now restore your backup to the new (and bigger) partition.Boot into your OSX install and run the Bootcamp assistant and try to partition again.This will fix any left over stuff that may prevent Bootcamp from partitioning. Next boot into your OSX install DVD and run Disk Utility and repair the disk.Bootcamp complains about the fact that it cannot move the files at the end of your partition, iDefrag compacts your disk so all the data is in the front.

Unfortunately the installer required an additional 15 gigs of space on my windows disk to install the actual game and it would not install from DVD or USB disk. I bought the game online, booted into windows on my mac and started downloading the 8 gig installer and was ready to go.so I thought. The release of StarTrek Online was too much for my LCARS loving brain to handle, so I caved. A few days ago I finally succumbed to the powers of my inner nerd.
