I have read that Carbon Copy Cloner will work. But you do need to 
reformat to change partition sizes. I think 10GB is a good size for the 
first and OSX partition. I have an 8 GB partition that is close to full 
a lot of the time. We don't have a "Partition Magic" counterpart in the 
Mac world that the PC world has.
