WinClone 1.4.1 Freeware X (10.4) Intel
If you’ve installed Windows on your Mac using Boot Camp, then you must get this utility. It allows you to back up your Windows partition to a disk image while in OS X, as well as restoring it if necessary. It also makes it possible to resize your Boot Camp partition (the process is: back up Windows using WinClone, delete the Boot Camp partition using Apple’s utility, create a new Boot Camp partition of a different size and then restore the Windows installation using WinClone.)
Quickboot 1.0.1 Freeware X (10.4) Intel
Another handy utility for Boot Camp users: it temporarily reboots the Mac into Windows, but when you restart again, it will boot back into OS X automatically. No need to use Startup Disk.
Much success has been built on obvious foundations, but other stories tell of a more circuitous route along unexpected pathways.
