I think FWB has a product that is supposed to be able to resize
partitions without wiping out the content, but it only recently came
out and I believe it is not free. If you have access to a spare
partition or external HD, just use CCC to copy the system partition to
it, and back on afterwards. Works great, that's exactly what I did a
while ago.
