i checked out their website, the software looks interesting. how they  
do say this about iPartition and bootcam:

"Is iPartition compatible with Boot Camp?
Yes, in that it won't disrupt Windows unnecessarily.

However, we must emphasise the following:

The current version of iPartition cannot resize NTFS or FAT  
partitions non-destructively.
The current version of iPartition cannot format NTFS or FAT  
filesystems. It can create NTFS and FAT partitions, but you will need  
to use something else to format them.
If you re-order your partitions so that the Windows partition changes  
its partition number, you will need to edit the file BOOT.INI in the  
root of your Windows installation. This is just the same problem that  
Windows users have if they repartition their machines, and it's  
caused by the Windows boot process.
Boot Camp is still in Beta!"

i think i'll erase and re-install. looks safer!

thanks anyway
