I have a semi new mac book pro and it has the the two systems...the mac and windows.... it has 4 Gig of ram about 200 gig of memory and the mac uses about 140 gigs and the windows about 60 gigs and I need to switch and ad more to the windows and make them even about 100 gigs to each one... how can I do that?

Two ways -
Reformat and partition the hard drive and reinstall everything.
Or,
Copy everything to a second hard drive (already partitioned), and then repartition the first hard drive, then copy everything back to the first.

Partitioning/repartitioning is destructive.

There are utilities for copying whole drives/partitions.
Carbon Copy Cloner (OS X)

Go to www.versiontracker.com to search for such software.

I don't recommend trying this, but here's someone else's approach:

(Please note that his example is repartitioning from Windows to Mac, not the way you want.)
