Your 2 emails are unclear as to whether you are using Windows through Boot Camp, Parallels, or both. If both, is Parallels using the Boot Camp partition, or is it a separate partition? If you already have a Bootcamped Windows installed, you should simply configure Parallels to use the bootcamped Windows.
I am not entirely sure, but I think the size of a bootcamped Windows cannot be changed without re-doing the entire process of using Bootcamp Assistant to remove and reinstall Windows. You could always backup your data in Windows or use WinClone to clone Windows, then remove the Bootcamp partition through Bootcamp Assistant, re-do the installation of Windows, and finally restore the cloned Windows image (or data) back. The size of a Parallels partition can be changed via the Image Tool utility under Parallels 4.0, but I would NOT use this utility if Parallels is using the Bootcamp Windows partition. Better to use the method in the previous para.
